J. Max Bond, one of the nation's most prominent African-American architects, died yesterday in Manhattan at age 73.

A partner in his firm told the New York Times that Bond died of cancer.

Bond worked on the design for the September 11th memorial museum.

Some of his other best-known projects include the Martin Luther King Jr. Center for Nonviolent Social Change in Atlanta and the Audubon Biomedical Science and Technology Park for Columbia University.

He also worked as an educator at City College and Columbia University.
