现代建筑之城 | Columbus，IN

A series of photos taken during two trips to Columbus between June and July of 2019.

Columbus is a city known for its

 modern architecture. J. Irwin Miller,

 CEO of Cummins Inc., instituted a program in which the Cummins Foundation paid the architects' fees, provided the client selected a firm from a list compiled by the foundation. The plan was initiated with public schools and was so successful that the foundation decided to offer such design support to other non-profit and civic organizations. The high number of notable public buildings and public art in the Columbus area, designed by such individuals as 

Eero Saarinen

, I.M. Pei, Robert Venturi, Cesar Pelli, and Richard Meier, led to Columbus earning the nickname "Athens on the Prairie."
