Modernist Cottages: The Democratic Architecture Of Irving Gill

Join the SAH/SCC this fall as they celebrate the work of Irving Gill with three separate events and tours. The first event in this series features an author talk on architecture.  Thomas S. Hines, Ph.D. will discuss the architect and his work in Irving Gill and the Architecture of Reform (Monacelli Press, 2000), a definitive monograph on this important architect.

A professor of history, architecture and urban design at UCLA, Hines’ books include Richard Neutra and the Search for Modern Architecture and Burnham of Chicago: Architect and Planner. Hines has held Guggenheim, NEH and Getty fellowships.

The lecture is free to the public and will include a reception afterward with light refreshments on the patio of the historic Miles Playhouse (1929, John Byers) in Santa Monica. Click here for additional information.
