An extensive collection of Modern Houses on the Outer Cape are physical
remnants of a unique convergence of their designers' philosophy and way
of living. Humble in budget, materials and environmental impact, they
are close to nature, immersed in art and seeking community. Peter
McMahon, Executive Director, Cape Cod Modern House Trust will discuss
this remarkable collection of Modernist treasures and what the Trust is
doing to save them.
MANITOGA is the historic home, studio and 75-acre woodland garden of
preeminent American industrial designer Russel Wright (1904-1976)
located in Garrison, New York. Developed from 1942 to 1962, Manitoga
provides a comprehensive experience of Wright's enduring vision for a
unity of nature and design. A National Historic Landmark and charter
member of the National Trust for Historic Preservation's Historic
Artists' Homes and Studios program, Manitoga interprets Wright's work
and vision through lectures, study trips to other Modernist sites and
exhibitions, internships, the Summer Nature & Design Camp, volunteer
opportunities to participate in historic preservation and caring for
landscapes based on native plants, the Russel Wright Award, and tours of
Wright's Home, Studio and Woodland Garden.
