Join Phillip Kalantzis-Cope and Jeffery S. Poss for the launch of Mid-Continent Modern: The Champaign School of Mid-Century Architecture (Immaterial Books, 2024).
This book documents the contributions of architects Jack Sherman Baker, John Gordon Replinger, A. Richard Williams, Robert Louis Amico, and Jeffery S. Poss to the Midwest's built environment. All were keenly aware of the prairie landscape of Central Illinois, its vast vistas, and the prismatic forms of houses, barns, and granaries that punctuate the horizon. Mid-Continent Modern: The Champaign School of Mid-Century Architecture tells the story of their work, and the people who live, use, and care for these buildings.
The authors will introduce the book and be available for a book signing.
