Edward D. Dart, FAIA (May 28, 1922 – July 9, 1975), born Edouard Dupaquier Dart and known as Ned by those close to him, [1] was a Mid-Century modern American architect.
Dart was born in New Orleans to parents of French descent. Dart attended the Isidore Newman School in New Orleans and the Woodberry Forest School on Virginia. After two years at the University of Virginia, he would enlist in the marines. His pilot training would begin in June 1942. Dart flew bombers in the pacific during World War II.

One of Chicago's most distinguished architects, Dart was made a Fellow of the American Institute of Architects at age 44 and garnered 18 AIA awards. He developed his personal design style of using natural materials, incorporating a building into its site and free- flowing spaces while at Yale.
Dart died suddenly on July 9, 1975. At the time of his death, he was a resident of Barrington Hills, Illinois. [3] The cause of death was an aneurysm while completing a significant commercial development, Water Tower Place. The archives of the Ryerson & Burnham Libraries, located at the Art Institute of Chicago, house a permanent collection of his works, donated in 1999 by his sister Susan. [4] [5] [1]
