The Glass House

On this 75th Anniversary year, we are honored to have The Glass House featured in Ep. 119 of Time Sensitive, featuring the chair of The Glass House advisory council, Paul Goldberger interviewed by Spencer Bailey on the remarkably thoughtful The Slowdown podcast titled, Time Sensitive. Time Sensitive is a podcast featuring candid, revealing long-form interviews with curious and courageous people about their life and work through the lens of time.

On Saturday, September 28th, guests attended an inspiring evening at The Glass House with Shigeru Ban—the Pritzker Prize-winning architect behind The Paper Log House, installed on our campus this season. Guests enjoyed cocktails in the Glass House at twilight, followed by an intimate talk in the Painting Gallery between Shigeru Ban and Naomi Pollock architect and author. As the misty evening drew in, dinner was served in the Painting Gallery among the vibrant works of Andy Warhol and Frank Stella—a truly unique opportunity. Special thanks to the event sponsors GROHE SPA and Kentucky Owl Bourbon, LLC for their generous support.  The talk between Shigeru Ban and Naomi Pollock will soon be available online, on our YouTube channel, and Bloomberg Connects. Shigeru Ban: The Paper Log House at The Glass House is made possible in part with support from The Japan Foundation and Kentucky Owl. Special thanks to Shigeru Ban, Dean Maltz, Vittorio Lovato and Le Yang of Shigeru Ban Architects (SBA) and the Irwin S. Chanin School of Architecture students through Professor Sam Anderson's Building Technology class Arch135B. 📷 @landinophoto #glasshouse75 #glasshousepresents #theglasshousenc #shigeruban #paperloghouse #shigerubanarchitects #pritzker #architecture #design #housetour #newcanaan #connecticut #trustsites #preservation

Swim along as we explore various pools from Historic Artists' Homes and Studios and National Trust Historic Sites around the country. These pools are works of art, sites of inspiration, and in at least one case, a lifeline. Here the water may be cool, but the history runs deep: https://ow.ly/6TzG50T2YIW
