ABSTRACT
In the 1970s, led by architect Charles Moore who fancied himself an "architect in the air," meaning that he spent more time flying from place to place than his office. The locale and culture of the place where the architect practiced had less impact than in earlier times. The airplane has indeed produced a shift in culture itself. This new breed of architect is led by Charles Moore, Robert A. M. Stern, Antoine Predock, Peter Bohlin, James Polshek, and Cesar Pelli. Peter Bohlin was fascinated with the use of heavy timber construction such as see in the Girl Scout Camp Louise in Columbia County, Pennsylvania and at the Shelly Ridge Girl Scout Center. James Polshek's two most well-known projects, however, are the American Museum of Natural History's Rose Center for Earth and Space in downtown Manhatta, and William J. Clinton Presidential Center. Antoine Predock's first recognition resulted from a project in the La Luz community in New Mexico in 1971.
