Wow!!! I was extremely impressed by the work they showed. Their interest in the irregularities of certain materials creates a unique structure. The use of natural light through slivers of space in thin atria shows a mastery over the concept of space. They also showed us a project in which they cataloged 1,800 trees on a campus site for the Tata company in Mumbai, India, maker of the $2,500 automobile that's been in the news lately. Very respectful use of the natural environment.
Their lecture was very well attended. I did make it from Cincinnati on time to introduce Dennis, although he was getting nervous. Dennis did a nice job of welcoming Tod & Billie, and they were very gracious. Unfortunately, they didn't have any images of the Columbus Museum of Art project they are working on, but I am very interested in seeing what they design for our city, based on past work.
I also announced that our new executive director is Gwen Berlekamp, who rejoins us after working in development at CAPA/CATCO. Gwen's first day will be Monday, March 3rd and we can't wait to work with her again. Gwen's tenure with us as member Services Coordinator was marked with true dedication to the needs of our members. Welcome back Gwen! See you soon.
