Designing Madison's Future: 85+ years (and counting)

PROGRAM

Since its inception in 1935, Strang has helped shaped Madison through forward-thinking architectural design. As one of the midwestern pioneers of the now-historic International Style, Strang established a future-focused culture, centered around the integration of building systems into architectural machines. As styles changed throughout the century, prominent Mid-Century and Modernist public buildings by the firm continued that tradition by showcasing and integrating the latest in architectural technologies and design thinking. This session will explore the legacy of Strang's impact on the Madison community through a historical lens, using virtual recreations of prominent local buildings to showcase projects that were cutting-edge in their time. Drew Martin will share a variety of the firm’s International Style residences in Monona and Madison, Mid-Century Modern public buildings, and some recent projects that are currently shaping the future of the East Washington Corridor.
