MODERNISM ON THE EAST COAST - PHILIP JOHNSON AND THE HARVARD FIVE
In the 1940s, a group of five modern architects from Harvard inspired by the Bauhaus ideas about architecture settled in the bucolic town of New Canaan, CT, where they stirred up an experimental modernist movement in the sleepy New England town. Marcel Breuer, Eliot Noyes, Landis Gores, John Johansen and Philip Johnson, established what would become a center of experimental Modern residential design. Their informal network became later known as the “Harvard Five”. Speakers will offer an insight about the role of architect Philip Johnson and the Harvard Five in the 20th century.
ICONIC HOUSES IN LATIN AMERICA
A second theme is Iconic Houses in Latin America, the new focus of the organization’s awareness-raising efforts. Representatives of house museums from several Latin American countries will share their struggles to overcome obstacles, as well as their successful survival strategies.
The Iconic Houses Conference was organized by the Iconic Houses network. Conference Chair was Iconic Houses’ Founding Director Natascha Drabbe and Conference Co-Chair Hilary Lewis, Chief Curator and Creative Director at the Glass House.

Does the house have a door?

I believe it does - right after you walked up the stairs.
