 | | BERKELEY – Roger Montgomery, a former dean of the University of California, Berkeley's College of Environmental Design, an emeritus professor of both the architecture and city and regional planning departments, and a long-time champion of affordable housing, social equity and historic preservation, died Saturday (Oct. 25) at his Berkeley home. |
 | | Montgomery was recruited to UC Berkeley and joined the faculty in 1967 with joint appointment in the architecture and city and regional planning departments. |
 | | Montgomery considered space and society, function and form, to be intimately related, said Castells, and while he never accepted the notion that urban beauty is elitist, he also never accepted that physical form could be judged outside its social context. |
