"The *Associates of the Boston Public Library*
invite you to attend their annual meeting and program:
Still Controversial After All These Years
The Philip Johnson Addition on its 25th Anniversary
A Panel Discussion
Philip Johnson faced a daunting challenge in designing a new
building to complement the historic McKim building in Copley
Square.
[ a ] How well did he do?
[ b. Would the Deferrari Hall atrium be a more pleasant
environment if the lighting were more varied? ]
[ c. How about an orienting building directory to improve
navigating the building? ]
[ d. How about asking the architect featured on CNN about
her new set of standards for public lavatory design
that encompass a better understanding of ergonomics to
refit city of Boston Public Library department
lavatories? ]
[ e. Check out the 1994 Rizzolli International Publications
book Philip Johnson, the Architect in His Own Words by
Hilary Lewis NA737.J6 A35 ]
We've Assembled a lively group of local architects, plus the
building engineer, to discuss the building at age
twenty-five.
[ 1 ] William G. Barry, Jr., moderator
[ 2 ] John Doherty [ building engineer ]
[ 3 ] Joan Goody
[ 4 ] Henry Moss [ Bruner-Cott & Associates Inc ]
