“The Experimental Practice of Cincinnati Modernist Architect Woodie Garber”

Woodie Garber’s design solutions were often driven by concern with thermal comfort and energy conservation–part of what we now call “sustainability” in architecture. Elizabeth Garber and Patrick Snadon will discuss several of Garber’s buildings that incorporated passive and active solutions, including the Sander Hall thermal glass, the movable sun-screens on Procter Hall, the use of the reflective milk glass panels, sculptural elements, etc. Elizabeth will read short selections from Implosion: A Memoir of an Architect’s Daughter where her father explained his intentions for certain buildings.
