Michelangelo Sabatino: The Edith Farnsworth House
@ Northwestern University - Norris University Center
1999 Campus Dr, Evanston, IL 60208
Opening Saturday, October 26th, from 2PM - 3PM
The Edith Farnsworth House, one of the most famous residences in modern architectural history, was legendary long before it could be widely accessed. Michelangelo Sabatino brings to life the house’s original design by Mies van der Rohe and discusses periods of neglect, flooding, and new ownership by Lord Peter Palumbo in his latest book, The Edith Farnsworth House: Architecture, Preservation, Culture. Now publicly accessible and celebrating 20 years of being owned and administered by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, Sabatino joins Thomas Leslie to discuss this icon of modern architecture, featuring a reading of Edith Farnsworth’s memoir.
