J. Max Bond Jr. (1935[1] – February 18, 2009) was an American architect. He developed an interest in architecture based on experiences ranging from viewing a staircase at a dormitory at the Tuskegee Institute to views of North African construction styles on a visit to Tunisia. He became one of a small number of nationally prominent African-American architects.[2] He married writer Jean Carey Bond in 1961 and they had two children.[3]
