EVENT DETAILS
Today midcentury modern is all the rage, bringing back designs of the 1950s like the Seagram Building and Lever House. But that era had its roots in the 1920s, when a daring generation of designers shook up establishment design. Join Barry Lewis for an exploration of New York’s classics of the 1950s and ’60s and the original 1920s works that inspired them.
Barry Lewis, an architectural historian who teaches at Cooper Union Forum, is the long-time host of a popular walking tour series on PBS.
