EA396: George Smart – Saving America’s Modernist Architecture Aug 10, 2021

Show notes

Saving America’s Modernist Architecture

George Smart's life changed dramatically after he visited Fallingwater in 2007. That led him to a late night Google search, which became a website, which became a community. Now his small but intrepid nonprofit staff and volunteers have built the largest open digital archives – free and searchable – of residential mid-century Modernist design in the world. George is founder and Executive Director of USModernist® and NCModernist®, nonprofit organizations dedicated to the documentation, preservation, and promotion of Modernist design.

America’s mid-century Modernist architects and their original clients are almost all dead; their houses have been sold several times; and the local real estate community would just as soon market teardowns as find new, caring owners. Despite many Modernist houses aging over the 50-year mark, city councils and preservation groups have a hard time considering Modernist houses to be historic – because 50 years later many still look like the future.

This week at EntreArchitect Podcast, Saving America’s Modernist Architecture with George Smart.

Richard holds a bachelor's degree in literature from Thomas More College and a master's degree in architecture from the University of Notre Dame.

Through his background in classical design, literature, art, and architecture, Richard has found inspiration for designs both in new innovation and invention, and in the imitation of great models of the past. Richard uses hand sketches, computer-aided drafting, 3D modeling, and traditional water-color rendering to explore design concepts and document finished products. He directs the design of every aspect of the bike, from the overall concept to its distinctive details. Richard lives in Goshen, Indiana with his wife and three daughters.
