Aubry died Saturday in Palmetto, Florida. He was 88.
He was the architect behind the Wortham Center in Houston and he finished the design work on that city’s Rothko Chapel.

Aubry began his career in the office of Howard Barnstone, where he advanced to a prominent role in that practice. One of their best known projects was the Rice University Art barn and Media Center. Later, as a leader in the firm of Morris*Aubry, Aubry was the designer of numerous important Houston buildings of the 1970s and 80's. These projects include the the downtown Central Library, First City Tower and the Glassell School of Art.
