  • 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.

  • Modernism in Bartholomew County, Indiana, from 1942
    NPS Form 10-900 USDI/NPS NRHP Registration Form (Rev. 8-86) OMB No. 1024-0018 MODERNISM IN BARTHOLOMEW COUNTY, INDIANA, FROM 1942 Page 1 United States Department of the Interior, National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Registration Form E. STATEMENT OF HISTORIC CONTEXTS INTRODUCTION This National Historic Landmark Theme Study, entitled “Modernism in Architecture, Landscape Architecture, Design and Art in Bartholomew County, Indiana from 1942,” is a revision of an earlier study, “Modernism in Architecture, Landscape Architecture, Design and Art in Bartholomew County, Indiana, 1942-1999.” The initial documentation was completed in 1999 and endorsed by the Landmarks Committee at its April 2000 meeting. It led to the designation of six Bartholomew County buildings as National Historic Landmarks in 2000 and 2001 First Christian Church (Eliel Saarinen, 1942; NHL, 2001), the Irwin Union Bank and Trust (Eero Saarinen, 1954; NHL, 2000), the Miller House (Eero Saarinen, 1955; NHL, 2000), the Mabel McDowell School (John Carl Warnecke, 1960; NHL, 2001), North Christian Church (Eero Saarinen, 1964; NHL, 2000) and First Baptist Church (Harry Weese, 1965; NHL, 2000). No fewer than ninety-five other built works of architecture or landscape architecture by major American architects in Columbus and greater Bartholomew County were included in the study, plus many renovations and an extensive number of unbuilt projects. In 2007, a request to lengthen the period of significance for the theme study as it specifically relates to the registration requirements for properties, from 1965 to 1973, was accepted by the NHL program and the original study was revised to define a more natural cut-off date with regard to both Modern design trends and the pace of Bartholomew County’s cycles of new construction.

    Reed Hilderbrand LLC Landscape Architecture Executive Committee Board of Trustees American Society of Landscape Architects 636 Eye Street NW Washington, DC 20001-3736 Re: Letter of Nomination for the ASLA Design Medal: Peter Walker REED| HILDERBRAND Dear Executive Committee Members: I am honored to present the nomination for Peter Walker, Principal of Peter Walker and Partners Landscape Architecture, for the ASLA Design Medal. It is my personal view that there is no living landscape architect with a more widely recognized body of work. As a writer and critic, I have worked closely with Pete and have benefitted from his encouragement, guidance, and generosity. As a teacher, I have taught by his example, and I continue to utilize ample references from his built works and body of publications. Perhaps for these reasons I cannot claim complete objectivity in this nomination—but who among us can? We have all benefitted from his example and his effort to make landscape architecture known to the world. My career would have been markedly different without exposure to Pete’s shared wisdom and his works. I think that’s true for many of us, as some notable colleagues will attest. I would like to cite a few key remarks from letters written in support of this nomination. Several of the writers indicated surprise that this honor had not already been bestowed upon Pete. Although he was awarded our society’s highest honor, the ASLA Medal (2004), and has also received IFLA’s Sir Geoffrey Jellicoe Gold Medal (2005) for lifetime achievement, the Honor Award of the American Institute of Architects (1992), Harvard’s Centennial Medal (2004), and the University of Virginia’s Thomas Jefferson Medal (2004), he has not been recognized with the ASLA Design Medal.

  • The Landscape Architecture Legacy of Dan Kiley Opens at the Center for Architecture
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Press contacts: Camila Schaulsohn - 212.358.6114, [email protected] Nord Wennerstrom – 202.255.7076, [email protected] The Landscape Architecture Legacy of Dan Kiley opens at the Center for Architecture The travelling photographic exhibition, on view during Landscape Architecture Month, honors a key figure in Modernist landscape architecture NEW YORK, New York, March 26, 2015 – The Landscape Architecture Legacy of Dan Kiley, a traveling photographic exhibition organized by The Cultural Landscape Foundation (TCLF) will open at the Center for Architecture on March 26, 2015 at 6:00 pm. The exhibition will be on view through June 20, 2015. The opening of The Landscape Architecture Legacy of Dan Kiley at the Center will kick off Landscape Architecture Month. During April, the Center for Architecture will also present an exhibition of the winners of the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) New York Chapter 2015 Awards. These exhibitions will be complemented by a series of public programs on related topics. Dan Kiley (1912-2004) worked with renowned architects including Eero Saarinen, Louis Kahn, and I.M. Pei, to create internationally-acknowledged Modernist icons. His design legacy is substantial, influential, and, like the broad swath of our Modernist-designed landscapes, ephemeral. The exhibition honors Kiley and calls attention to the need for informed and effective stewardship of his work - and by extension Modernist landscape design. 1 The Landscape Architecture Legacy of Dan Kiley prompts questions and discussions about responsible stewardship, which is central to TCLF’s mission. While some Kiley designs are dying quiet deaths, others are extremely well maintained or require only modest attention to achieve their brilliance once again.

INTRODUCTION Daniel Urban Kiley, an internationally renowned American artist, died on February 21, 2004.2 In its obituary, the New York Times described his work as "seminal," combining "modernist functionalism with classical design principles."3 Described by his peers as an elegant, inspirational, innovative, and distinguished artist, Mr. Kiley was "revered in his field."4 His death was noted "with sorrow" by the American Academy of Arts and Letters which said his "passing will be deeply mourned."5 * Professor, Widener University School of Law. 1NAN FAIRBROTHER, THE NATURE OF LANDSCAPE DESIGN: AS AN ART FORM, A CRAFT, A SOCIAL NECESSITY 3 (1974). 2See Douglas Martin, Obituary, Dan Kiley, InfluentialLandscape Architect, Dies at 91, N.Y.
