1 COLUMBUS, INDIANA A JOURNEY TO ONE OF THE MOST ARCHITECTURALLY RICH CITY IN THE COUNTRY. and Indianapolis March 18-25, 2016 DEADLINE FOR REGISTRATION: FEBRUARY 29, 2016 Columbus reputation as one of the richest architectural city in the country is growing all the time. This amazing display of good design came from the vision of J. Irwin Miller, 2nd CEO and a nephew of a Co-Founder of Cummins Inc., the Columbusheadquartered diesel engine manufacturer. He instituted a program in which the Cummins company paid the architects' fee, compiled a list of architects he thought could do honor to the city. The plan was initiated with public schools and was so successful that Miller decided to defray the design costs of fire stations, public housing, and other community structures. The high number of notable public buildings and sculptures in the Columbus area, designed by such individuals as Eero Saarinen, I.M. Pei, Robert Venturi, Cesar Pelli, and Richard Meier have led to Columbus earning the nickname "Athens of the Prairie." Six buildings, built between 1942 and 1965, are National Historic Landmarks, and approximately 60 other buildings sustain the Bartholomew County seat's reputation as a showcase of modern architecture. The Columbus Area Visitors Center has done an excellent job at promoting this extraordinary city so rich in architectural gems. It is a city that makes you wonder why other towns are not paying more attention to better design by offering architects the means to create aesthetically and practical buildings that could add to the pleasure of the eyes of his inhabitants and visitors. PROGRAM Day 1 - Friday March 18 - Fly to Indianapolis.(Airfare not included) If you arrive before or at around noon, we will visit the Indianapolis Art Museum one of the largest and best museum of arts in the country. Built on a 160 acres campus, it includes several buildings from different eras, each with its one particular architectural history. The grounds are spectacular and show what intelligent, well thought and carefully planned landscape can do to enhance the architectural personality of buildings. That evening we will have dinner together. Night in Indianapolis. Day 2 - Saturday March 19 - We will drive to Columbus, Indiana in the morning. We will have an overall tour of the city quickly looking at the vast array of interesting buildings as well as the large collection of street art spread all over the town. After lunch we will visit buildings of importance by neighborhoods. Later in the afternoon, we will check into our hotel (after all, no hotels give a room before 3PM). We will have another dinner together. Day March 20, 21, 22, 23 - Each day there will be different buildings to visit, from the seven buildings included in the exclusive National Historic Landmarks program, to the 60+ noticeable buildings designed by architects like I.M. Pei, Eliel Saarinen, Eero Saarinen, Richard Meier, Harry Weese, Dale Chihuly, Cesar Pelli, SOM, Kohn Pedersen Fox, Kevin Roche John Dinkeloo & Associates, HOK, etc.. We will also visit the Miller House designed by Eero Saarinen, one of the most beautiful mid-century modern house. Day 7- Friday March 24 - We drive back to Indianapolis and visit some architectural gems before having our last dinner together. Night in Indianpolis. Day 8 - Saturday March 25 - You will be driven to the airport either with the hotel shuttle or by private car or taxi. 1

2 Myron Goldsmith of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill designed the Republic newspaper offices in 1971 of glass and steel. The open concept reflects the seven-day newspaper s role as a central link in the information for the community. The Republic was the seventh Columbus structure to be named an historic landmark. The U.S. Dept of Interior said, The Republic is an exceptional work of modern architecture and one of the best examples of the work of Myron Goldsmith. Fire Station No. 3 William Burd designed the station in 1983 and it features a large graphic red three. It is a small station that meets the needs of the neighborhood. 301 Washington The Columbus landmark at 301 Washington Street houses the second-story office of J. Irwin Miller, who was the President and Chairman of Cummins Engine Company, President of Irwin Union Bank, and President of the Irwin- Sweeney-Miller Foundation, as well as being involved with many other business interests and national associations. The first floor entry and second floor private office of J. Irwin Miller have been preserved and can be visited. Alexander Girard, the interior designer for the Miller House, was also an architect who was responsible for the facade renovation and interior design. Eero Saarinen designed North Christian Church, which was completed in This is the last building designed by Eero Saarinen before his untimely death on September 1, Roche Dinkeloo & Associates, the successor architectural firm, completed the building. The sloping roof of this six-sided building blends with the landscaped earth-mound which surrounds it. This low line accentuates the slender 192-foot spire, topped with a gold-leaf cross, which gives its distinctive design. Dan Kiley landscaped the multi-acre site, including the parking lot. Northside Middle School, addition The 1991 addition was designed by Andrea Leers and Jane Weinzapfel at the same time they were designing the addition to the nearby Schmitt School, also by Harry Weese. The red steel in both structures complements other community projects, such as Mill Race Park and the gateway bridges. Leers, Weinzapfel & Associates were the American Institute of Architects 2007 recipients of the Architecture Firm of the Year Award. Schmitt Elementary School Harry Weese designed the original school in 1957 as the beginning of the Cummins Foundation architectural program. Each room has a peaked roofline, making an interesting zigzag exterior silhouette. An addition in 1991 by Leers, Winzapfe, & Associates was needed to accommodate the growing school population. 2

3 The Robert N. Stewart Bridge is a cable-stayed bridge. Designed by J. Muller International and completed in 1999, it is the first of its kind in North America. The bridge is fully suspended and the 40 cables that support the structure are in the shape of a fan. Prall House Prall House, a grand Victorian house, was designed by Columbus architect Charles F. Sparrell in 1891 and is built of wood with ornamentation, a tower, stained glass, and wrap-around porch with rod and ball decoration. Fire Station No. 1 The original Fire Station One was designed by Leighton Bowers in 1941 in the Art Nouveau style with simple lines of buff brick, limestone, glass and stainless steel. First Financial Bank - Creekview Dwell magazine said "it may be the most refined bank branch in the world." Designed by Deborah Berke & Partners Architects she described it as: "It's a modernist building, but it's absolutely inextricably linked to this site in relation to visibility." The clean lines and bright lighting of Eero Saarinen's downtown Irwin Union Bank and Trust design carried over to Berke's vision for the new bank building (formerly Irwin Union Bank and Trust), a design representative of a safe and accepting environment for customers. Miller House and Garden, the work of Eero Saarinen, Alexander Girard, and Dan Kiley. Travel + Leisure magazine said the "Miller House ranks alongside Frank Lloyd Wright s Fallingwater, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe s Farnsworth House, and Philip Johnson s Glass House as a hallmark of Modernist design (and) it is surrounded by some of the most beautiful Modernist gardens in the United States, created by landscape architect Dan Kiley." Columbus has seven buildings designed by Pritzker Prize winners: Kevin Roche (4), I.M. Pei, Richard Meier, and Robert Venturi and seven American Institute of Architects Gold Medal winners. 3
