  • The Louis I. Kahn Collection
    Solomon’s Success: Trenton Bath House to be Saved On Friday, August 11th at 2:54 PM EST, news flashed across the internet and around the world that the Bath House and Day Camp pavilions designed by Louis Kahn in the mid 1950s for the Jewish Community Center (JCC) in Ewing, New Jersey, would be preserved. The message was sent from architectural historian, DOCOMOMO US member, and Kahn scholar Susan Solomon. She is the leader of a ten-year struggle to preserve Kahn’s work in Ewing and literally wrote the book on Kahn and the Bath House (Louis I. Kahn’s Trenton Jewish Community Center, Princeton Architectural Press, 2000). Design of the JCC was the first major project of Kahn’s private practice. He acknowledged this work as inspiring a fundamental and profound shift in his architectural thinking. Kahn “discovered himself” after designing this project, considering the Trenton Bath House as his first opportunity to work out the concept of served and serving spaces. The archi- tectural fundamentals he discovered is Exterior, Trenton Bath House, recognizable in every building he designed subsequently. Trenton, NJ Kahn’s Bath House and pool (1955) and four Day Camp pavilions (photo: Susan Solomon) (1957) have been listed on the National Register of Historic Places and protected by a Ewing preservation ordinance since 1984. Due to extensive deterioration of the Day Camp pavilions, the JCC sought approval for the demolition of two of the four pavilions in 1966 but withdrew the request when the preservation community strongly objected. Although the Day Camp pavilions were not demolished, wooden barricades and wire fencing were erected to prevent access; deterioration accelerated.

    Editorial Ten Years After, the Continent of Hope and Modern Heritage A Tribute to Udo Kultermann he argument of this Docomomo Journal is Modern Movement in Sub–Saharan Africa and Tropical Architecture. docomomo is very pleased to gather the reflection of a range of skilled researchers in this issue, becoming to point a huge critical attention. Ten numbers and ten years after docomomo Journal 38, dedicated to Modern 2 T Heritage in Africa, the aim of this number 48 is to update the discussion contributing to “fill the gaps” identified by Jane Drew (1911–1996) and Maxwell Fry (1899–1987). The expression “Tropical architecture” is frequently associated to Fry and Drew, due to an international diffusion of Tropical Architecture in Humid Zones (1956), followed by Tropical Architecture in Dry and Humid Zones (1964). Far from European production, African colonies created new architecture giving shape to a brand, the one of tropical ar- chitecture: “architecture in the humid tropics is collaboration with nature to establish a new order in which human beings may live in harmony with their surroundings”. The idea was “to fill a gap in general information for architects and town planners”.1 Until then the edition was concentrated on French and British colonies.2 1960 seems to be “the African year” coinciding with the peak of the beginning of the African decolonization pro- cess, following a post–war circumstance and the foundation of the United Nations Organization in 1945 (having a huge reverberation on changes made to statutes of several African regions that were being shared by European states since 1884, as decided at the Berlin Conference), with the independence of 17 countries and the beginning of rebel- lion towards independence all over the continent.

    Judging Becket with Stone Noting what seems like a missing t, this cover editorial piece is not going to be about Samuel Beckett, author of Waiting for Godot. It is, rather, about the very pressing question of what to preserve of the work of large commercial firms. Nowadays, two maligned past practitioners, Welton Becket and Edward Durell Stone, serve as illuminating exem- plars–along with other examples too numerous to list–of the sorts of dilemmas facing modernist preservation. These figures and their proj- ects shaped our domestic skyline and set standards for professional values and aspirations. They even projected, in what seems today like far more optimistic and potentially peaceable times, an image of America abroad, as seen in the Istanbul Hilton by Gordon Bunshaft, the US Embassy in Havana by Harrison and Abramowitz, or the US Embassy in New Delhi by Edward Durell Stone. While the phenomenon of the com- mercial firm is not new, given the significance of McKim, Mead and White or D. H. Burnham and Co., the sheer volume of work by such firms as Becket’s or Stone’s (or of Eero Saarinen’s, SOM and John F. Kennedy Center for the HOK) presents us with serious challenges and a looming responsibility. Performing Arts, Washington DC, Edward Durell Stone: begun in (For comments regarding how this relates specifically to the work of early 1960s, completed in 1971 Saarinen, see page 7 for a review of two new books on that modernist (photo: Theo Prudon) master.) The preservation dialogue, frequently seen as being about per- sonal preference–thought, therefore, to be largely subjective–needs to be redirected not only to the larger subject of architectural design; it also has to include a broader discussion of the historical, cultural and contex- tual significance of the full spectrum of international, national, regional and local buildings and their architects, elite geniuses and innovative professionals alike.

    Bunshaft House Threatened There are buildings we simply cannot afford to lose, and the Gordon and Nina Bunshaft House in East Hampton, NY, 1961–1962, is one of them. The Town of East Hampton would commit a grave error if it did not step in immediately to forestall impending demoli- tion by its new owner Donald Maharam who recently purchased the house from Martha Stewart. Maharam claims that Stewart sold him the house in a state of disrepair and he has no choice but to demolish it. The supreme irony here is that Maharam is a member of a family whose business, Maharam Textiles, produces many products of mid-century Modern design; the company’s “Textiles of the Twentieth Century” collection features designs by contemporaries of Bunshaft such as Charles and Ray Eames, Alexander Girard, and Verner Panton. (Editor‘s Note: Panton’s work is currently on display at the AXA Gallery in New York City—see “Exhibits” section.) As recently as 2000, the Eames Office partnered with Maharam Textiles to create a line of fabrics based on the Bunshaft House, 1961-1962, designs of the Eames brothers. in its current condition. This all makes it difficult to understand why Mr. Maharam would (photo: Caroline Rob Zaleski) not restore the Bunshaft House, a masterpiece of mid-century Modernist design, and become an instant hero instead of a villain. The Nina and Gordon Bunshaft house is one of the great Modern houses in the Hamptons. It faces Georgica Pond and was designed by Gordon Bunshaft of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill. The architect is well know for individual New York City landmarks such as Lever House, 1952; the Manufacturers’ Company Fifth Avenue Branch, 1954; and the Pepsi Cola Company Headquarters, 1960; as well cont’d on p.
