My Architect
2010-2011 Nowell's Architecture Movie Series

NCModernist

Trailer. Louis Kahn's teaching career began at Yale University in 1947. Kahn was elected a FAIA in 1953. He was named Professor of Architecture and Planning at MIT in 1962 and Professor of Architecture at the University of Pennsylvania in 1966. In 1974, Kahn died of a heart attack in a men's restroom in New York's Pennsylvania Station. He went unidentified for three days because he had crossed out the home address on his passport. He had just returned from a work trip to Bangladesh, and despite his long career, he was deeply in debt when he died. In 2003, Kahn's son Nathaniel Kahn released this Oscar-nominated biographical documentary about his father which gives glimpses of the architecture while focusing on talking to the people who knew him: family, friends, and colleagues. It includes interviews with renowned architect contemporaries such as B. V. Doshi, Frank Gehry, Ed Bacon, Philip Johnson, I. M. Pei, and Robert A. M. Stern, but also an insider's view of Kahn's unusual family arrangements.

FLW1 - Fallingwater / Kentuck Knob / Venturi House

NCModernist

NCModernist

27 architectural adventurers flew to Pennsylvania and visited Frank Lloyd Wright's epic Fallingwater (top photo) and nearby Kentuck Knob. Then we toured a Robert Venturi house (bottom photo).

"The trip was splendid. I'm still reeling from it....to see those houses was an emotional, and for me, religious experience. I was interested to learn about the families that built them. Everything was well planned and went so smoothly. You did a terrific job and all I can say is I'm sorry it ended!"

"Thank you for another outstanding TMH trip. Two-thumbs up for Fallingwater and Kentuck Knob. TMH scores another "5 out of 5" stars on this trip. I've truly enjoyed every TMH trip that I've been fortunate enough to take and Ihope there will be many other TMH trips in my future!"

"It was a Modernist adventure of the highest order. George did an outstanding job of organizing a pleasant and educational tour of Frank Lloyd Wright and Venturi 'works of art' near the Pittsburgh area. What a great community of modernist enthusiasts to share this weekend adventure with as well. George, you set the bar awfully high this time."

"Fallingwater was amazing... the photos don't do it justice, you really have to see it for yourself!"

"Thank you so much for the wonderful trip to Pittsburgh, Fallingwater and all the marvelous homes you took us to. Everything was perfect and I had an amazing time exploring the homes, learning about the architecture and architects and meeting great people. The world seemed full of possibilities! You did an outstanding job putting this event together and I am looking forward to our next journey...maybe to Chicago? Palm Springs?"

"Fallingwater, what can I say, became the sum of its parts for me on our recent tour....all those photos that I have viewed and admired for so long, interacted and flowed together into a glorious visual whole, that would never have happened, for me without the TMH opportunity. There is no substitute plus you can't hear the water!"

"There's no photograph or video or even a 3D model that does Fallingwater justice. You just have to be there. It is one of the most incredible places I have ever been. And the special reception they gave for us at sunset was a delightful ending to one of the world's most storied houses."

"Experiencing Fallingwater was a lifetime experience. George Smart organized a flawless tour...easy, comfortable and filled with visual experiences."

"Thanks to you and your lovely wife for this beautiful trip so well organized. I'm so glad I was part of it I learned so much during that weekend. All the people in the group were very friendly, we were very quiet the first day but got to know each other a little bit better on the second day."

"We really enjoyed our first trip with your group yesterday. The event was well organized and the people were both outgoing and friendly. We look forward to joining you on future trips!"

"I had a marvelous time and really enjoyed meeting everyone. I am really looking forward to lots more fantastic events and getting to know everyone involved with the group. It’s clear and your lovely wife do a wonderful job for the organization. Having loved modernist furniture for quite some time, my hope is to become more heavily involved with the group as I continue to learn more about modernist architecture. So fantastic!"

"Thanks for a wonderful trip and all your great organization to make it go smoothly despite traffic and bus issues. I look forward to additional trips in the future!"

"George, Everyone had a BALL! They were AWESOME!! Thanks sooooo much."

"We enjoyed it a great deal. A great group."

"I had a great time with a fine group. Conversation was fascinating -- we closed down the restaurant. Clearly you have fostered huge interest in modern architecture and that's who came, modern homeowners (Matsumoto and Jim Webb houses), builders and a designer. Food was great too. What fun."

"Good food and good stories, especially from Arthur who remembers everything from the old days. Arthur explained why his Chapel Hill modernist houses tended to be small, with small baths and kitchens—his clients were mostly young strapped professors who couldn’t afford more."

"We thought this was a tremendous experience. Ellen and Frank were delightful hosts; we assumed there would be catered food and were astounded to find that Ellen had prepared this wonderful meal. Seeing their home and learning about their vision, the building process, and experiencing their art collection was very stimulating. The other attendees were interesting people with whom we had good visits. This was a special occasion we will remember for a long time.
If there are more events like this planned for the future, sign us up!"

"It was truly a special night. The house, the art, the artists, the dinner and the participants couldn’t have been more engaging. We do hope you will plan similar events in the future — but honestly, it will be hard to top this one!"

"Ellen's slide talk after dinner was a highlight."

"I had a great time and thoroughly enjoyed seeing the house. We took a tour and I got to see just how trapezoidal the entire building is."

"It was a lovely dinner and visit with different modernist lovers but ... it was incredibly difficult to have a discussion with everyone at a rectangular table with that many people involved so either smaller groups might be better or a round table might work. Otherwise, perfectly wonderful evening and thank you for putting it together."

"Do you know that this A4A is as far reaching as VA Tech? There was a young man there who drove ALL THE WAY DOWN from Blacksburg in his last week of grad school in Architecture just for the dinner. AND this wasn't even his first one to attend. Thank you so much for all that you do!"

Design/build experts Vinny Petrarca of Tonic Design and Tonic Construction and Will Alphin of Alphin Design Build at 618 Bistro in Raleigh.

"The format of being more casual and smaller group numbers over a wonderful dinner was in my opinion perfect. The food was excellent and the speakers even better. Vinny and Will did a wonderful job fielding Q&A and having a truly interactive experience sharing a lot of knowledge. For a younger person in love with this architecture I felt like it was very insightful and I felt like they were open and honest about various things they'd done design-wise. There is a lot that could be learned from their experience in being both designers and builders. It made me much more comfortable with potentially working with them in the future as they were really personable."

"They really wanted us to keep asking questions and enjoyed answering them. They did a good job explaining the concept of design/build. The only suggestion for the future may be to have the table arrangement in a large square or circle and possibly a private party room so everyone could be heard."

"I have to tell you that the company last night was delightful and the presenter was second to none."

"I liked meeting in the main dining room because it seemed like a dinner of friends, not a "meeting" with an agenda."

"We really enjoyed Tuesday's dinner - lots of interesting conversation! It was a great opportunity to meet lots of interesting people in a casual, relaxed environment. The layout of the menu - that included several options - seemed to work well for everyone as well."

"The food, as always at 18 Seaboard, was phenomenal. It would have been nicer to have a room or an area without the din of nearby patrons."

"As always, the food at 18 Seaboard and the special menu they prepared for our group was excellent, varied and sufficient. We were surprised by the format thinking we would be in the small dining room with a power point presentation of some kind. But we were also surprised at how very well the format worked. Frank and David collaborated in a very informative discussion, inviting and answering questions from many in our group. They moved around casually and engaged all of us there."
