Emerson Umbrella Center for the Arts presents Design and Discourse: The Life and Work of Jean Paul Carlhian
Jean PaulCarlhian once said of his 14-story high-rise dormitory on Harvard’s campus, “We
Never Thought Bare Concrete Would Be Enjoyable To Look At.” On Thursday,
October 24, Emerson Umbrella Center for the Arts will introduce Carlhian’s work
in a retrospective gallery show.
French-born, and a
longtime Concord resident, Carlhian is remembered to many as the architect who took Harvard vertical. Symmetry and stability, seen as virtues of design by Carlhian, were reflected in much of his architecture.
The show will feature his work on the Arthur M. Sackler Museum and National Museum of African Art at the Smithsonian Institution, Washington DC; the Mather House at Harvard University; the Quincy House at Harvard University; the Leverett House at Harvard University; the Warren Rudman Federal Courthouse in Concord, NH and the Federal Office Building #7 in Washington DC.
The show will run
from October 24 through December 1, 2013, with a reception on Tuesday, November
5, from 7-9 pm.
This event is free and open to the public. Please visit our website for more information about our Gallery. www.emersonumbrella.org
