James L. Nagle

James Lee (Jim) Nagle (born 1937 in Iowa City) is an American architect practicing in Chicago.

Nagle received a Bachelor of Arts from Stanford University in 1959, a Bachelor of Architecture from M.I.T. in 1962, and a Master of Architecture from Harvard University in 1964. Following graduation from Harvard, Nagle travelled to the Netherlands as a Fulbright Scholar to study architecture and urbanism. On his return to the United States in 1965, Nagle joined the office of Stanley Tigerman, leaving in 1966 to open a firm with Larry Booth, a fellow architect at Tigerman's office. In 1981, Nagle left his partnership with Booth to establish Nagle Hartray and Associates with Jack Hartray. The firm is known today as Nagle Hartray Architecture.

Nagle has taught design at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) and the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT). He has made accreditation visits to Columbia University and Harvard University and has taught, exhibited, and lectured extensively at numerous other schools of architecture. Additionally, he has served as Chairman of the AIA National Committee on Design, President of the Chicago Architecture Foundation, President of the Graham Foundation Board, and Design Juror on many State and National Awards Programs. He is a member of the Archeworks Board of Directors, the Design Matters Advisory Committee, and the Board of Overseers at the IIT College of Architecture.

Nagle’s firm has won over seventy-five industry design awards and has been published in architectural magazines nationally and internationally. Nagle has designed over 100 single-family houses for clients across the country.

In the late 1970s, Nagle became a member of the Chicago Seven, a group led by Tigerman which emerged in opposition to the doctrinal application of modernism, as represented particularly in Chicago by the followers of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe.
