Weinstein liked to say, &ldquo;is full of holes.&rdquo; He meant it as a compliment &mdash; at least to a degree. After working early in his career as an advisor on urban design to New York City Mayor John Lindsay, Weinstein, who died Feb. 24 in Santa Monica at 85, moved to Los Angeles in 1985 to become dean of the Graduate School of Architecture and Urban Planning at UCLA. After 10 years in that role, he spent another 13 as a professor in the department.</p></em><br /><br /><p>Christoper Hawthorne describes the supportive relationship Richard Weinstein had with another innovative L.A. architect at UCLA at the time, Thom&nbsp;Mayne, quoting him:&nbsp;&ldquo;He [Weinstein] thought of architecture as a noble profession. Can you imagine?&rdquo;</p>
