Don’t miss the opportunity to join fellow classicists for a multi-day immersive exploration of the architecture of Washington D.C!

The 2022 Christopher H. Browne Washington DC Drawing Tour is a four-day program to intensely study, through measured and analytical field drawing, the rich diversity of architecture and urbanism of the Federal City of Washington, DC, led by instructor Stephen Chrisman, Partner at Ferguson & Shamamian Architects, LLP. The techniques of careful field drawing in a sketchbook will be explored in-depth, and have been used by architects and designers beginning in the Renaissance to document as well as utilize the precedents in new design.

The program, which takes place from May 12th to May 15th, will feature opportunities to study a range of architectural scales and subjects, including urbanism, plans and elevations, exterior stone detailing, interiors, and the study of the classical elements, including the orders. Each day will conclude with a review and discussion of the drawings.

If you can believe it, this is the *restrained* pool at Hearst Castle. The Roman Pool is an indoor alternative to the sprawling Neptune Pool, and as spectacular as it is, it was seldom used. Such was the vastness of the estate designed by architect Julia Morgan for the publishing tycoon William Randolph Hearst.

A trailblazing architect, Julia Morgan designed over 700 buildings in California, leaving an indelible mark on the architecture of the Golden State, including the sprawling Hearst Castle. A woman of many firsts, Morgan was the first woman admitted to the architecture program at l’École des Beaux-Arts in 1898, the first woman in California to be granted an architect’s license, and recently she was the first woman to earn the AIA Gold Medal for her pioneering achievements.

On March 22, 2022, Julia Morgan’s sesquicentennial year, Victoria Kastner—the longtime official historian at Hearst Castle—will give a talk centered around her new book, “Julia Morgan: An Intimate Biography of the Trailblazing Architect,” published by Chronicle Books. Drawing on Morgan’s unpublished letters and recently discovered diaries, Kastner provides the first comprehensive portrait of this architect’s inspiring career and private life.

In the late 1800s, if you were a person of any means in New York or Brooklyn, you needed to belong to a social club. These were hubs of upper middle class/upper-class activities in both cities, with clubhouses popping up all over the place. Members of these clubs spared no expense in utilizing the latest architectural trends and trying to one-up each other. This building on Putnam Avenue in Clinton Hill was built for the Lincoln Club. The club was initially founded for local Republicans in the neighborhood but would drop its political affiliation. They hired Brooklyn architect Rudolph L. Das to design the Queen Anne masterpiece, although I see a lot of Romanesque Revivals, which were completed in 1889. However, due to changing tastes, the Lincoln Club disbanded like so many others. In 1931 the club officially dissolved, and in 1940, the building was sold to the Independent Order of Mechanics of the Western Hemisphere. As far as I can tell, it is still owned by them. It was landmarked on May 12th, 1981.

JOIN US for a NEW EVENT!! 🌟🌟

Frank Lloyd Wright & the Architects of Steinway Hall

The Chicago-Midwest Chapter of the ICAA is pleased to partner with the Benjamin Marshall Society for the upcoming Virtual Event "Frank Lloyd Wright & the Architects of Steinway Hall" with our guest speaker, Stuart Cohen of Cohen & Hacker Architects.

In 1897, Frank Lloyd Wright, Robert Spencer, Dwight Perkins and Myron Hunt, all good friends, moved in together in the loft office space at the top of Steinway Hall, a building Dwight Perkins had designed. They were all about the same age and were all early in the development of their independent architectural practices. They collaborated on projects together and participated in the Chicago Architectural Club, the Chicago Arts and Crafts Society, and the vibrant architectural culture that characterized the profession in Chicago at the beginning of the last century. Together in Steinway Hall they shared in the development of ideas that would impact twentieth century architecture.

Stuart Cohen, architect, educator, and author of Frank L. Wright and the Architects of Steinway Hall: A Study in Collaboration, will discuss the time these men spent together and the creative “collaborative circle” they formed.


Date:​Thursday, February 17, 2022
Time:​ 6:00pm – 7:00 pm
Location: Zoom Presentation

Spørger du også dig selv om, hvad ’the new normal’ er på den anden side af det, som verden gennemlever lige nu? 🌈

Regnbuen – en forbindelse mellem det, som vi kender – og fremtiden.

Som motiv er regnbuen ladet med historisk symbolik.
I dag er regnbuen en hyldest til mangfoldighed, fred og alternative kulturformer. Tilbage i 1970’erne brugte Christiania brugte regnbuen på deres (valg-)plakater som symbol på de mangfoldige aktiviteter, som fristaden satte i værk efter militæret var rykket ud af kaserne-området.
Thy-lejren blev kaldt ’regnbuehæren’, hvor de mange farver symboliserede forskellige i folks arbejdsopgaver – og alle var ligestillede i et anti-autoritært, anarkistisk fællesskab.
Til gengæld så de gamle grækere og vikingerne regnbuen som en bro mellem jorden og himlen, der skal vogtes og passeres. I græsk mytologi er Iris regnbuegudinde og en formidler mellem Zeus og jorden. Hos vikingerne var regnbuen et symbol på broen ’Bifrost’, som fører fra Asgård til Midgård; den vogtes af Heimdal og brister ved Ragnarok, som et symbol på, at opretholdelse af kosmos ophører. I andre kulturer opfattes regnbuen som en himmelslange eller – drage, og kan også have forbindelse til underverdenen.  
Også inden for kristendommen er regnbuen et symbol på Guds pagt med Noa efter syndfloden. Og i europæisk folketro er der en skat skjult der, hvor regnbuen står på jorden (kilde: Lex.dk)

I dag er regnbueflaget også symbol for LBGQT+ - rummelighed og accept af at du skal leve, som dén du er – og føler dig som.

––
Ugo Rondinone, ’where do we go from here?’, 1999.

Wir wünschen ein frohes und gesundes Jahr 2022!

Und mit einem Veranstaltungshinweis starten wir das neue Jahr hier: am 12. Januar setzt das Landesdenkmalamt Berlin seine Reihe "Auf dem Weg zum Welterbe" fort. Der 8. Digitale Dialog thematisiert die Arbeit von Prof. Josef Kaiser (1910 bis 1991), der im Zuge des Wiederaufbaus nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg insbesondere das Stadtbild Ostberlins in der Karl-Marx-Allee prägte. Ihm sind u.a. der Bau der Kinos International und Kosmos sowie das hier gezeigte Café Moskau zu verdanken. Ab 18 Uhr gibt der Architekt Thomas Zill einen kurzen Überblick zu Leben und Werk von Prof. Josef Kaiser und stellt anschließend dessen Berliner Projekte in den Mittelpunkt. Wer danach mitdiskutieren möchte, ist herzlich eingeladen. Um Anmeldung wird per Mail mit dem Betreff „Anmeldung 12.1.“ gebeten: [email protected].
