Architect Bart Prince and author Christopher Curtis Mead present a slideshow of The Architecture of Bart Prince: A Pragmatics of Place (Revised and Updated) (Norton, $39.95), the only book on the exuberant work of a uniquely original American architect - now updated to look at new buildings by Prince. Bart Prince, whose breathtaking buildings stand from Ohio to Hawaii. Prince is recognized internationally for embodying the American tradition of individualism personified by Louis Sullivan, Frank Lloyd Wright, and Bruce Goff. This study of Prince and his architecture as an open-ended process of cultural discovery and experimentation focuses on what Prince believes to be architecture's proper subject: the experience of place produced when an architect responds to the practical and psychological realities of a specific client, program, and budget in the context of a particular site.

Please note this event is at 2pm instead of our usual Sunday time.
