Hubert Bebb, Founder
The origins of Community Tectonics Architects dates back to 1950 when the late Mr. Hubert Bebb relocated his successful Chicago-based practice to the East Tennessee area. The practice grew and prospered as Mr. Bebb’s expertise and talent became known in the region. This development continues today with firm principals who joined the organization during his lifetime.
