From the Librarian’s Desk
The Indiana
premiere of the
documentary
Louis Sullivan,
the Struggle for
American Architecture will be
held April 6 in AB100
thanks to Carol Street,
Archivist for Architectural
Records. See page 2 for
more on this upcoming
event.
The Architecture Library
is home to a wide range of
videos on historical and
contemporary subjects. On
page 2 there is a guide to
finding titles in the collection
and new videos recently
added. Once the Sullivan
documentary is offered for
purchase on DVD I’ll be sure
to add that title to the
collection as well.
Like the video collection,
the Architecture Building
Material Samples Collection
continues to grow. Stop by the
VRC in AB117 to browse
through the new arrivals and
talk with Cindy about
integrating this resource into
your class projects.
Building Material Samples Collection Guide
The new Architecture
Building Material Samples
Collection subject guide
offers tips on searching for
items in the collection and
resources for materials
research. All of the items in
the Building Material
Samples Collection in the
Visual Resources Collection
(AB117) are in CardCat.
Each item has been
assigned CSI Masterformat
numbers and some items
have subjects such as
“Sustainable building
material samples —
Recyclable.” The guide
includes a list of subjects and
quick links to corresponding
items in CardCat.
Users will also find
resources for materials
research described in the
subject guide. Among the
resources highlighted is a list
of periodicals in the
Architecture Library that
include products or materials
sections, databases to search
for more information, and
online resources.
Green materials research is
also covered in the subject
guide with tips on finding
books in the library, articles in
the library’s subscription
databases, and online materials
information.
For more on the
Architecture Building Material
Samples collection, or to
suggest materials for the
collection, contact Cindy
Turner, Visual Resources
Curator, at

Indiana Premiere of Louis Sullivan Documentary April 6 in AB100
By Carol Street, Archivist for Architectural Records
The Friends of the A.M.
Bracken Library, the College of
Architecture & Planning, and the
Drawings + Documents Archive are
hosting the Indiana premiere of the
documentary film Louis Sullivan: The
Struggle for American Architecture,
followed by a talk with the
filmmaker Mark Richard Smith, on
Tuesday, April 6, 2010. The program
will take place in the Architecture
Building, room 100, at 7:30 p.m..
Come earlier to see the actual
cornice from Sullivan's Chicago
Stock Exchange building and the
incredible work Architecture
Professor Michele Chiuini and John
Fillwalk from the Institute for
Digital Intermedia Arts, along with
their students, are doing to
reconstruct the building digitally in
the exhibit DiCSX (Digital Chicago
Stock Exchange) in the nearby CAP
Gallery.
It's all FREE and not to be missed!
Called the father of Modernism,
Sullivan revolutionized American
building styles in the late 19th and
early 20th centuries, and is known
for coining the Modernist design
mantra “form follows function.”
Many of his buildings have suffered
under the guise of urban renewal,
but the buildings that remain are
extraordinary examples of a singular
vision.
Mark Richard Smith’s new film
beautifully articulates the grandeur
and importance of Sullivan’s
contribution to our architectural
history. Clips and more information
about the film can be found at
