DOCOMOMO New York/Tri-State co-sponsored event:
Donald Albrecht on Saarinen’s Bell Labs Campus
Tuesday October 30, 7:30 pm, Holmdel, NJ
DOCOMOMO US New York/Tri-State, as co-sponsor, invites you to a lecture by Donald Albrecht on the architecture and landscape design of Eero Saarinen’s Bell Labs. Albrecht, co-curator of the current international exhibition “Eero Saarinen: Shaping the Future,” will place this landmark corporate campus in the context of Saarinen’s career as an instigator of new paradigms for postwar American life through his work for Bell Telephone and other leading American corporations.
The lecture has been arranged by a coalition of national and regional preservation groups responding to proposed redevelopment plans that put the Bell Labs site at risk. It is being hosted by Holmdel, NJ-based Citizens for Informed Land Use. The coalition includes DOCOMOMO US New York/Tri-State, Preservation New Jersey, National Trust for Historic Preservation, DOCOMOMO-US, Recent Past Preservation Network, The Cultural Landscape Foundation and AIA-New Jersey.
