 foremost modernist cities and architecture destinations in the USA: Columb
 us\, Indiana” \n\nThe midwestern city of Columbus\, Indiana\, is more t
 han a mecca of modern architecture\; it is an example of how design can he
 lp foster a remarkable community. The dozens of buildings and projects by 
 legendary architects – from mid-century titans such as Eero Saarinen and
  I. M. Pei to contemporary practitioners Deborah Berke and IwamotoScott 
 – remain integral to its urban fabric. This book explores Columbus’s o
 ptimistic program of bold new architecture and landscapes\, initiated by t
 he legendary industrialist J. Irwin Miller and local leaders\, and the gen
 erations-long quest to develop the ideal American city through design exce
 llence. \n\nThis is the first in-depth history of Columbus\, Indiana\, de
 monstrating the unique convergence of civic\, industrial\, and social forc
 es that produced the pre-eminent laboratory of architectural modernism in 
 the USA. It presents a rich showcase of outstanding\, generation-spanning 
 architects and is published in association with Landmark Columbus Foundati
 on\, the civic organization behind the progressive preservation and promot
 ion of the city’s architectural heritage\, as well as the producer of th
 e acclaimed program Exhibit Columbus\, a two-year cycle of events that use
 s the context of Columbus to host conversations around innovative ideas an
 d then commissions site-responsive installations in a free\, public exhibi
 tion.
