We’re turning our attention to architecture and design this winter and spring, with an exciting schedule of films, talks, exhibits and more here at River Arts. Take a look at what’s coming up … and join us, as we dip in and explore varied approaches to architecture and design, while making connections and sparking our imaginations!

Danny Sagan has been researching, through case studies and oral histories, the happenings of the early design/build experiments in a community established in Warren, Vermont in 1964 known as “Prickly Mountain.” The works of these architects seem relevant in retrospect for our understanding of the roots of the environmental building movement, the material culture of the 1960s, and a transition away from corporate functionalism back to the making of buildings as art. Sagan will show slides, some of historic images, some of projects still standing, and will explain the development of these radical ideas over time.

Danny Sagan is an Architect, Associate Professor of Architecture , and Program Director of the School of Architecture and Art at Norwich University. Together with his wife Alisa Dworsky he founded the design/build company Terra Firma Inc and the architecture firm DS Architects. He lives with his wife and two daughters in Montpelier.

This event is supported, in part, by Vermont Arts 2015, a celebration of public funding for the arts through the Vermont Arts Council.
