Victor Alfred Lundy was born February 1, 1923 in Manhattan. He received his Bachelor of Architecture degree from Harvard University after serving as an infantry sergeant in the U.S. Army in World War II. In his master's program at Harvard, Lundy studied under Walter Gropius. After
traveling extensively abroad on a Rotch Traveling Scholarship, Lundy worked at different firms in New York City before he received his architectural registration. Lundy established his own firm in Sarasota in 1954. Here he designed the Sarasota Chamber of Commerce Building (today's Visitor Information Center), the addition to Alta Vista Elementary School, St. Paul's Lutheran Church, and the Herron House. Lundy is known for his dramatic roofs and the interactions between his dynamic forms and the landscape.
Lundy was made a fellow by the American Institute of Architects in 1967. He was a visiting professor and lecturer at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, University of New Mexico at Albuquerque, Columbia University, Yale University, University of Arkansas, and University of California at Berkeley. Lundy was made an adjunct professor of architecture at University of Houston after he opened a firm there in 1976.
