By Allee Davis, Secretary & Board Member
To kick off 2017, the 黑料吃瓜-US Greater Philadelphia Chapter held its One Building One Brew happy hour on Friday, January 20. The group visited Robert Venturi’s Guild House (1960-1963) and learned about the unordinary way the architect employed ordinary architectural elements to this richly contextual building. After, the neighboring Latvian Society of Philadelphia graciously hosted the group for drinks and light fare. Special t-shirts featuring a sketch of Guild House by talented board member Ben Leech were made available for sale to help celebrate the occasion (You can still purchase a t-shirt ). The evening was full of conversation focused on Philadelphia Modernism and the chapter’s upcoming programming for the year. The next One Building One Brew event will take place in March with an event around modernism at the Swarthmore College campus planned for the Spring or Summer time. Follow on for updates and more information.
