COAST TO COAST MODERN ARCHITECTURE AND DESIGN IN THE USA OCTOBER 10 - 26, 2016 TOUR LEADER: DR MATTHEW LAING

Coast to Coast:

Overview

Tour dates: October 1-26, 2016

For more than a century, the dynamic cities of the USA have been at the forefront of architecture and design. A love of technology and innovation has led to some remarkable achievements. Architects such as Louis B. Sullivan, Frank Lloyd Wright and Mies van der Rohe redefined architecture for the modern age, while American art collectors discovered Picasso and the European avant-garde decades before the Europeans did. Our unique 17-day itinerary visits many of the hot spots of modern architecture and design in the United States – both historic and contemporary, with a particular focus on ‘mid-century modern’ architecture.

Modern architecture and design in the USA

Your tour leader Dr Matthew Laing has a PhD in American History from the Australian National University and is currently with Monash University. He has a comprehensive knowledge of the history of the United States, providing vital context for understanding the remarkable art, architecture and design of the 20th century. For Matthew, the art and design of the USA has a global significance. “The United States has profoundly influenced modern architectural and design movements, and its echoes can be seen everywhere in Australia”, he comments. “From Walter Burley and Marion Mahoney Griffin's Chicago-school design for Canberra, to the William Levitt-style post-war surburbia in Melbourne, to the Frank Gehry building at the University of Technology in Sydney, Australia owes much to American design ideas.” On tour, Matthew particularly likes to point out the link between history, society and the visual arts. “Architecture and design are built expressions of historical ideas. The cutting-edge designs of today become the tangible representations of our history and thoughts. The art deco towers of New York are not mere aesthetics - they are expressions of the embrace of the machine age and industrialisation in the United States.” Matthew has led several tours for ADFAS Travel and Academy Travel, receiving great praise for his work. In the words of one traveller “Our tour leader, Matthew Laing, was brilliant. His knowledge and ability to present were exceptional. He was also amiable, helpful and well organised.”

Hotspots of modern architecture and design

Our itinerary has picked out some of the key centres of modern architecture and design in the United States.

Los Angeles: Far from the long reach of European classicism, post-war Los Angeles became the archetype of the modern American utopia, so familiar to us through film and television. Here architects including as Frank Lloyd Wright, Richard Neutra and Richard Wexler created homes for the ‘creative class’ of entrepreneurs, performing artists and media executives. Palm Springs: In the ‘golden years’ of Hollywood, movie stars were contracted to not travel more than 100 miles from the Hollywood studios. Palm Springs, 96 miles from Los Angeles became the secluded getaway for the creative elite. In the 1950s and 1960s performers such as Bob Hope and Frank Sinatra commissioned leading architects to create stylish holiday homes. Today this desert town boasts more than 2,000 examples of modernist architecture and design. Chicago: Always a forward-looking city in the sphere of technology and industry, Chicago’s architecture and design had to be re-imagined after the disastrous fire of 1871. Architects such as Daniel Burnham and Louis B. Sullivan, revolutionised commercial architecture with their multi-storey steel framed ‘sky scrapers’. In the domestic sphere, Sullivan and the young Frank Lloyd Wright revolutionised the American home, moving away from European precedents and taking their inspiration from the landscape of the Prairies and from minimalist Japanese aesthetics. Columbus, Indiana: This small Midwestern city is perhaps the USA’s most surprising architecture and design destination. Nicknamed the ‘Athens of the Prairie’, the town features buildings by Eero Saarinen, I.M. Pei, Robert Venturi, Cesar Pelli and Richard Meier. Six of the town’s buildings are designated National Historic Landmarks and a further 60 have been featured in publications on modern architecture. Ann Arbor: A university town in northern Michigan, is close to nearby centres of design excellence. To the north is the Cranbrook Academy of Art, founded in the 1920s under the direction of Eliel Saarinen, the renowned Finnish designer and architect. Much of the campus was designed by Saarinen and alumni include furniture designers Charles and Ray Eames. New Haven: This seaside town is the seat of Yale University, whose campus is both a showcase of modern architecture and whose museums include the prestigious Yale Art Gallery and the Center for British Art. New York: Although long associated with modernity, New York is in fact the oldest city we visit on this tour. Nevertheless it contains a wealth of sites of interest, a few of which we visit during our brief stay, including Wright’s Guggenheim museum.

Detailed itinerary Included meals are shown with the symbols B, L and D. Monday October 10 Arrive Los Angeles Most flights from Australia arrive in Los Angeles in the morning. Group or individual transfers are available to all those booking their flights through Academy Travel. In the late morning we visit the nearby Pacific Design Center, on a beautifully landscaped, six-hectare campus designed by Cesar Pelli. Our welcome lunch is at Wolfgang Puck’s Red Seven restaurant, inside the Center. The later afternoon and evening are free. Overnight Los Angeles. (L) Tuesday October 11 Los Angeles modern We spend today with a specialist guide examining some of the city’s finest mid-century homes in districts such as Silver Lake and Pacific Palisades. Highlights include Frank Lloyd Wright’s Hollyhock House from 1921 and the hilltop Stahl House, built in 1960 whose cantilevered pavilions look over the city. Overnight Los Angeles. (B) Wednesday October 12 Fine art and contemporary architecture in Los Angeles

Above: Thomas Gainsborough’s The Blue Boy, c. 1770, held in the Huntington Library, San Marino; and Walt Disney Concert Hall, Los Angeles, designed by Frank Gehry Below: Detail on Frank Lloyd Wright’s Hollyhock House

The morning has been set aside to visit the highly regarded Los Angeles county Museum of Art, whose collection ranged from European masterpieces to stunning contemporary works. This afternoon we head downtown to explore a trio of contemporary masterpieces. First is the Disney Concert Hall, opened in 2003 and home to the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra. Frank Gehry’s exuberant ‘deconstructivist’ architecture sign is immediately recognisable. Next door is The Broad, an art museum opened in September 2014 to house the collection of philanthropist Eli Broad. The ‘veil and vault’ architecture is superb, as is the collection within. Our final stop is Raphael Moreno’s 2002 Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels, a refreshing take on ecclesiastical architecture. Overnight Los Angeles. (B) Thursday October 13 Pasadena art and architecture We spend the morning in the hilltop town of Pasadena, on the outskirts of Los Angeles. Here we tour the Gamble House, a masterpiece of the Arts and Crafts style, highly influential on Frank Lloyd Wright and others. We also visit the renowned Huntington Library and Art Museum, founded in 1919 by railway magnate Henry E. Huntington. The art collection comprises both European masterpieces and American works by Mary Cassatt, Edward Hopper and others. This afternoon we travel into the desert to Palm Springs, with dinner in a local restaurant. Overnight Palm Springs. (B,D)

Friday October 14 The Desert Modernists Most of the day is spent with an architectural historian exploring the extraordinary legacy of over 2,000 mid-century modern houses, public and commercial buildings in and around Palm Springs. Many are the work of leading architects of the period, and were owned by well known personalities including Frank Sinatra and Bob Hope. We will have exclusive access to several houses. The later afternoon and evening are free to explore the lively village atmosphere of Palm Springs. Overnight Palm Springs. (B) Saturday October 15 To the Midwest In the late morning we fly to Chicago. Due to the time change we do not arrive until the late afternoon. We transfer to our hotel and enjoy dinner in a characteristic Chicago restaurant. (B,D) Sunday October 16 Fine art in Chicago – Symphony concert

Above: Bob Hope’s space-age Palm Springs estate; and Robie House, perhaps the fullest expression of Wright’s Prairie style in Chicago Below: the striking Jay Pritzker Pavilion in front of the Chicago Skykine, Millennium Park

Chicago has a renowned fine arts and design scene. We begin the morning at Millennium Park, admiring Anish Kapoor’s Cloudgate, Gehry’s Pritzker Pavilion and other works, before heading to the Art Institute of Chicago. This large museum holds a famous collection of French Impressionist paintings and an excellent 20th-century collection, housed in a Renzo Piano designed wing. This afternoon we enjoy a matinee performance by the Chicago Symphony, generally regarded as the finest orchestra in the United States (subject to confirmation in April 2016). Overnight Chicago. (B) Monday October 17 Frank Lloyd Wright in Chicago I America’s most famous architect first practiced in Chicago, soaking up the forward-looking, technology-driven modernism of the ‘Chicago School’ of architecture. We begin with a survey of Chicago’s early skyscrapers, to which Wright contributed, before heading out to the suburb of Oak Park, where Wright had his house and studio and where he designed more than a dozen homes as well as the Unity Temple. After lunch in the fashionable West Loop district, the afternoon is free, with an architectural river cruise of Chicago highly recommended. Overnight Chicago. (B,L) Tuesday October 18 Frank Lloyd Wright in Chicago II We continue our investigation of Wright with a private tour of the Robie House of 1909, the culmination of his Prairie Style domestic architecture. Close to the Robie House is the campus of the University of Chicago and the site of the 1893 World’s Fair, which put Chicago on the map as a city of international renown. The early afternoon is free. In the late

afternoon we visit the Driehaus museum, a late 19th-century mansion furnished in a largely Art Nouveau style, with many pieces by Tiffany. Finally, we ascend the Hancock Tower to enjoy sunset cocktails and a seemingly limitless view over the city centre, Lake Michigan and the prairies beyond. Overnight Chicago. (B) Wednesday October 19 Across the Prairies Early this morning we head to Plano, Illinois, for a private tour of Mies Van der Rohe’s Farnsworth House. The minimalist international style was revolutionary in 1951, but went on to profoundly influence domestic architecture. We continue across the prairies to Kamakee, where Frank Lloyd Wright built two early prairie-style homes in 1900. We continue to Columbus Indiana, where there is dinner in our hotel. Overnight Columbus. (B,D) Thursday October 20 Columbus Indiana Your tour leader Matthew Laing writes ‘Columbus, Indiana is one of my favourite places in the United States. Through the extraordinary vision of one industrial magnate and his wife, a corner of small town America was radically transformed into a modernist architectural utopia for which there is no equal - artistically or aesthetically - anywhere else in the world.’ We spend most of the day exploring the many notable public and private projects which form this utopia. Overnight Columbus. (B) Friday October 21 North to Michigan A full day’s driving takes us to the region of the Great Lakes in the north of Michigan. There are many points of interest along the way, including the superb early 20th century courthouse at Fort Wayne, which we visit during our lunch stop. In the late afternoon we arrive at the pleasant town of Ann Arbor, seat of the prestigious University of Michigan. Dinner and overnight Ann Arbor. (B,D) Saturday October 22 ‘The cradle of American modernism’ The Bloomfield Hills district of Michigan has the third-highest per capita income in the United States, a legacy of decades of industrial production. It was in the heart of this region that philanthropist George Booth established, in 1932, the Cranbrook Academy, inspired by the Arts and Crafts movement to foster design of the highest order. The first director was the famous Finnish town planner, architect and designer Eliel Saarinen. Saarinen laid out the campus and designed many of the original buildings, which we visit. In the art and design museum we learn more about the many influential people who studied at Cranbrook as alumni or artists in residence. In the later afternoon we travel in to the city of Detroit to view the well-regarded Art Institute and in

particular its famous Diego Riviera murals. We return to Ann Arbor in the evening. (B) Sunday October 23 To the East – Yale University We take an early morning flight to Hartford, Connecticut and travel the short distance to New Haven, on the Atlantic coast. New Haven is the seat of Yale University, which houses two excellent art museums (one devoted to British art) and campus buildings designed by a who’s who of American and international architects. We spend the afternoon and some of the following morning exploring them. Dinner and overnight New Haven. (B, D) Monday October 24 The Glass House and a sculptor’s museum Late this morning we depart New Haven and head for nearby New Canaan in order to visit Philip Johnson’s Glasshouse. Built at the same time as Mies Van Der Rohe’s Farnsworth House, the Glasshouse is equally revolutionary and established Johnson, already a director at New York’s Museum of Modern Art, as a major figure in American architecture. As we enter New York we make a quick visit to the Japanese-American sculptor Isamu Noguchi’s house and museum in the borough Queens. We arrive in New York in the early evening. Overnight New York (B) Tuesday October 25 Design, modernism and architecture in New York Our final full day’s touring is spent in New York. Among the countless sites of interest to visit, we have selected the recently re-opened Cooper Hewitt museum of Design, the Guggenheim Museum and an afternoon American Institute of Architects cruise around Manhattan to round out our program. This evening we gather at a nearby New York restaurant to farewell our architecture and design odyssey. Wednesday October 26 Departure The morning is free. In the afternoon there are transfers to New York’s John F Kennedy airport for those who booked their flights through Academy Travel.
