  • Once Called America's Versailles, Newport, Rhode Island's Charm Still
    Once called America’s Versailles, Newport, Rhode Island’s charm still lies in its National Registered Historic Landmark District. It is a seaside city on Aquidneck Island, 37 miles southeast of Providence, Rhode Island. The population of Newport is approximately 25,000. Newport gives a picture of America’s Gilded Age with palatial mansions where the rich built summer homes that were more like hotels. The Breakers, Elms, Rosecliff and Marble House are on most tourists’ agendas when in the area. Other sites to see are Rose Island Lighthouse, Rough Point, Cliff Walk and Newport’s Rocky Coastline. When it comes to historic preservation, Doris Duke is remembered by locals with much admiration. Born in 1912, Ms. Duke was the daughter of an American tobacco tycoon. Her philanthropic interests were as varied as her world travels, social life and interest in the arts. Until her death in 1992, Doris Duke was a major player in preserving more than 80 historic buildings in Newport. Today the Duke Charitable Foundation still exists and sponsors many social and health concerns. Newport was one of the earliest settlements in Rhode Island, along with Providence and Portsmouth. Newport was founded in 1639. It began as a beacon for religious tolerance and political freedom. People who had been persecuted in Europe heard of Newport’s acceptance and came to live and work there. An important seaport town during the 18th century, Newport played an important part in what was known as the Triangle Trade (1739‐1760). From sugar and molasses converted to rum and shipped to Africa for slaves, fortunes were made by those in that business.

Some, like Frank PHOTO BY ANNE D Lloyd Wright’s Richard Davis House (1950) and John E.

Schuler Virginia Adams, PAL Local Project Coordinator Orlando Pacheco Local Heritage Landscape Participants Jim Babbin Michael A. Browne Deborah Allen Carey Jim Dowd Paul Fenner Jon Higgins Nanette Masi Bruce McBrien Juli McDonald Orlando Pacheco Jay Williamson May 2005 INTRODUCTION Essex County is known for its unusually rich and varied landscapes, which are represented in each of its 34 municipalities. Heritage landscapes are places that are created by human interaction with the natural environment. They are dynamic and evolving; they reflect the history of a community and provide a sense of place; they show the natural ecology that influenced land use patterns; and they often have scenic qualities. This wealth of landscapes is central to each community’s character; yet heritage landscapes are vulnerable and ever changing. For this reason it is important to take the first steps towards their preservation by identifying those landscapes that are particularly valued by the community – a favorite local farm, a distinctive neighborhood or mill village, a unique natural feature, an inland river corridor or the rocky coast. To this end, the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) and the Essex National Heritage Commission (ENHC) have collaborated to bring the Heritage Landscape Inventory program (HLI) to communities in Essex County.

  • AIA Committee on Design Conference, Columbus, Indiana April 12-15, 2012: “Defining Architectural Design Excellence”
    AIA Committee on Design conference, Columbus, Indiana April 12-15, 2012: “Defining Architectural Design Excellence” Last year Columbus, Indiana was rediscovered in the national media with the public opening of the Miller House and Gardens. An exquisite design collaboration of Eero Saarinen, Alexander Girard and Dan Kiley, completed in 1957, the landmark has been declared “America’s most significant modernist house”. While the house is now owned by the Indianapolis Museum of Art (IMA) and public tours are available through the Columbus Visitors Center, the tours are often sold out, limited in numbers and access. The IMA is providing the AIA-COD the opportunity to visit the house and gardens as an “open house”, with guides distributed throughout to provide information, and is allowing us personal photography. If you have visited Columbus in the past, you are aware of its recognition for its many modern buildings designed by nationally and internationally recognized architects, including Eliel Saarinen, Eero Saarinen, Harry Weese, Robert Venturi, I.M. Pei, Gunnar Birkerts, Kevin Roche, and Richard Meier. Columbus has been called the “mecca of modern architecture” and “the Athens of the Prairie”. In 2000, in a highly unusual move, six modern architecture and landscape architecture sites were designated as National Historic Landmarks; including First Christian Church (Eliel Saarinen), Irwin Union Bank (Eero Saarinen), Miller House and Gardens, North Christian Church (Eero Saarinen), Mabel McDowell Elementary School (John Carl Warnecke), and First Baptist Church (Harry Weese). The AIA COD conference will visit each of these locations. The commitment to design excellence has continued in Columbus the last 10 years, in fact thriving to have had the most construction per capita through the Great Recession.

  • 12 Architects That Changed the World 24 JANUARY 2011 77 COMMENTS Inshare100
    12 Architects that Changed the World 24 JANUARY 2011 77 COMMENTS inShare100 From time to time, there is a great artist that changes the way we perceive masterpieces and other people and gives us new emotions. Still, humanity gives birth to visionaries in other domains as well. And architecture is yet another great field where these bright minds create marvels and change perspectives. Some architects are even responsible for creating masterpieces with an emotional impact on people and can change the way we perceive cities and countries. Artists or not, these farsighted architects, were and many continue to be, the masters in redesigning our future.
