Frederick Kiesler — From New Harmony to Houston
Gerald D. Hines College of Architecture, University of Houston
Tuesday Jan 26, 2010, 5pm

What started as a studio project to rethink Frederick Kiesler’s unbuilt Grotto for Meditation has turned into an opportunity for scholarship and design. The unveiling of the digitally fabricated New Harmony Grotto is the first installation of a two tier project that will culminate in the publication of a forthcoming book. Please join us in celebrating the accomplishments of faculty and students.
