<h3>TUESDAY • JANUARY 30 • 2024 | 5:00 • 7:00PM</h3>Presented by the West Coast Modern LeagueHosted by Inform Interiors, 50 Water Street, Vancouver, BC FREE EVENT with registration | Open to the publicReception at 5:00pm | Presentation at 6:00pm On January 30th, Marc Treib, Professor of Architecture Emeritus at UC Berkley and prolific author on modern landscape and architecture, joins the West Coast Modern League at Inform Interiors for Tommy &amp; Bill, a talk on the landscapes and architecture of Thomas Church and William Wurster.Beginning in the 1930s, but especially during the immediate postwar years, William Wilson Wurster and Thomas Dolliver Church—in architecture and landscape architecture respectively—included in their sizable dossiers works executed both in collaboration and individually. While Wurster shunned the wholescale adoption of modernist ideas from abroad, he used them to temper and adapt long-established California architectural traditions. Sharing with Wurster these same predilections, Church produced an impressive number of landscapes both in Northern California and in the United States more widely, but always rooted to their sites, environments, and clients' lives, whether ultimately deriving modernist form and space or those more traditional.Tommy and Bill examines the course of their buildings and landscapes as they evolved over several decades, deriving their designs in response to their physical and social environments.Marc Treib is Professor of Architecture Emeritus at the University of California, Berkeley, and a prolific author who writing focuses on modern landscape and architecture in the United States, Scandinavia, and Japan. His books include the edited volumes Thomas Church, Landscape Architect: Designing a Modern California Landscape, and An Everyday Modernism: The Houses of William Wurster. Coming next spring are Poodling: On The Just Shaping of Shrubbery, and Noguchi's Gardens: Landscape as Sculpture, both from ORO Editions. <h3>Registration Required:</h3>Free event with registration.
