Lecture on Midwest modernist architect Harris Armstrong
St. Louis architect Andrew Raimist will present “Harris Armstrong: Midwest Modernist” on Friday, December 1, 12 noon at Webster University.
Harris Armstrong (1899-1973) was a St. Louis-based modernist architect. According to Raimist, his work “exemplifies the best achievements of modern architecture: the use of natural materials, honesty of structural expression, an open relationship to a magnificent landscape, and attention to detail resulting in a coherent artistic statement.”
