Irwin and Xenia S. Miller Prize were identified. The Exhibit Columbus team conducted interviews with 19 potential participants and awarded five winners based on a series of criteria that included strong interest and connection with the curatorial theme and a desire to work in Columbus. • The Washington Street Civic Project Leaders were selected by the core Exhibit Columbus team based on their past experiences and connection to the curatorial theme. • In a highly competitive process, the University Design Research Fellows submitted proposal ideas based on their research and were awarded fellowships based on similar criteria. • During the first cycle of programming in 2016 -2017, Exhibit Columbus identified Miller Prize Winners through a Juried Competition. For this cycle, we chose to focus on a group of participants who could build a deeper, more impactful relationship with the community by removing the element of competition. This allowed all of the 2019 exhibition designers to attend and participate in the 2018 National Symposium, held at the end of September 2018, and come back to Columbus throughout the year for programs and presentations. Apps - Statement on iOS vs. Android Exhibit Columbus is excited to be able to provide a free audio app experience for the 2019 exhibition. This app is available for download on Apple products in the App Store. Why not other devices? It is a matter of resources; apps are expensive to develop and EC research has shown Apple devices are primarily most used among our audience. How can I use the apps without an iPhone/iPad? Yes, the library has generously offered to check out iPads during the exhibition to allow visitors to experience both the Hear/Here app and The Long Now app. J. Irwin and Xenia S.

Irwin and Xenia S. Miller Prize. • Exhibit Columbus is the flagship event of Landmark Columbus, whose mission is to care for the architectural legacy of Columbus and inspire communities to invest in architecture, art, and design to improve people’s lives and make cities better places to live. • Landmark Columbus has created dozens of inspiring events and programs that have educated the community and advocated for continued care of the design heritage. • Landmark Columbus has helped improve the physical condition of a number of buildings, landscapes, and public artworks. • The most notable example of the organization’s purposefulness to date is its advocacy and fundraising for Friends of First Christian Church Architecture, a new organization that was created in partnership with the Church, Heritage Fund, and Indiana Landmarks. In the spirit of the Columbus Way, we worked together to raise $160,000 in just nine months to save the skylight in the sanctuary. After years of disrepair, plans are now in motion to restore this iconic design feature. • Landmark Columbus was recently awarded a prestigious Getty Foundation Keeping it Modern grant to develop a preservation plan for North Christian Church. North Christian Church is one of ten international buildings on this year’s list and is joined by the Miller House and Garden as well. It is unprecedented to have two Getty grants in one community in the same year. Exhibit Columbus Contact List Anne Surak, Director of Artistic Director e.

    UTK Tower: Marshall Prado, 2018–19 UDRF Fellow Executive Summary The Columbus, Indiana community continues to demonstrate that the best way to have an authentically great place to live is through the process of working together with shared values and clear goals. Engaging excellent designers and relying upon a thoughtful process to build new buildings, landscapes, artworks, or reuse existing ones is a key part of our history. After more than seventy-five years, this tradition has created what we hold dear today: an internationally-recognized collection of architecture, art, and design that has become a defining characteristic of the community and the core of this city’s identity. Heritage Fund — The Community Foundation of Bartholomew County launched Landmark Columbus Foundation (LCF) in 2015 as one of its key programs to ensure that Columbus’ traditions and investments in design excellence are well cared for and can remain a source of inspiration for future generations. With the support of many in this community and those around the state and country, Heritage Fund’s program quickly became a community asset making a big difference through Exhibit Columbus and many progressive preservation efforts. 1 Executive Summary Bartholomew County Courthouse: Isaac Hodgson, 1874 In late 2019 Heritage Fund supported the move of this program to become a stand alone 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, with the mission to care for, celebrate, and advance the cultural heritage of Columbus, Indiana. At the start of 2020, the inaugural Board of Directors of LCF met to move the mission forward, and with dedicated staff, volunteers, and collaborators, this organization has made great progress and is poised for continued success far beyond today.

  • Exhibit Columbus to Open August 23[3]
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE August 21, 2019 Exhibit Columbus to open August 23 2019 exhibition brings together designers, academics, students, and volunteers to explore central theme of “Good Design and the Community” Exhibit Columbus, the annual exploration of architecture, art, design, and community, continues to celebrate the design legacy of Columbus, Indiana, with the opening of its second major exhibition this weekend, August 23-24, with two days of programming. The exhibition will feature 18 site-responsive installations by architects, designers, academics, artists, and graphic designers. These designers have created outdoor installations and experiences that use Columbus’ built heritage as inspiration and context, while highlighting the role that visionary community plays in growing a vibrant, sustainable, and equitable city. The exhibition is free and open to the public, and will transform downtown Columbus through December 1. For inspiration, Exhibit Columbus looked to the 1986 exhibition, Good Design and the Community: Columbus, Indiana, created when Columbus business leader and philanthropist J. Irwin Miller became the first person inducted into the National Building Museum Hall of Fame in Washington. Mr. Miller chose to emphasize the community’s process and involvement in building, rather than the architecture itself, as a source of his hometown pride: “Architecture is something you can see. You cannot see a spirit or a temperament or a character, though, and there’s an invisible part of this community of which I am very proud because, in a democracy, I think that the process is more important than the product.” Elaborating on the connection between the tangible and intangible culture that Mr.

  • How to Edit a Building: Fieldnotes from the North American Brasilia1
    Urbanities, Vol. 9 · No 2 · November 2019 © 2019 Urbanities How to Edit a Building: Fieldnotes from the North American Brasilia1 Travis Warren Cooper (Butler University, U.S.A.) [email protected] This article reports on my recent ethnographic interactions in Columbus, Indiana, a unique Midwestern American city that has been ranked sixth in the nation ‘for architectural innovation and design’ by the American Institute of Architects, just after New York, Boston, Washington D.C., Chicago and San Francisco. After briefly outlining my methods, discussing the history of Columbus and contextualizing the design-oriented Exhibit Columbus event, I focus on interview, archival, digital and participant observation data around one Columbus site: Entry Portal. An interactive exhibit designed by Daniel Luis Martinez and Etien Santiago of Columbus’s own J. Irwin Miller Architecture Program, Entry Portal plays with the concepts of architectural durability, monumentality and approachability. Through its subtle modifications, the interactive exhibit seeks to improve on the accessibility of a canonical mid-century modern design. Entry Portal, I argue, offers an insightful case study into more egalitarian, accessible and anti-monumental design — what my ethnographic informants describe under the rubric of ‘new civilities’. Keywords: Urban anthropology; ethnography; anthropology of architecture; Columbus, Indiana; new civilities. Introduction This article reports on my recent ethnographic interactions in Columbus, Indiana, a unique Midwestern American city that has been ranked sixth in the nation ‘for architectural innovation and design’ by the American Institute of Architects, just after New York, Boston, Washington D.C., Chicago and San Francisco (Vinnitskaya 2012). After briefly outlining my methods, discussing the history of Columbus and contextualizing the design-oriented Exhibit Columbus event, I focus on interview, archival, digital, and participant observation data around one Columbus site: Entry Portal.
