Summary:
The midwestern city of Columbus, Indiana, is more than a mecca of modern architecture; it is an example of how design can help foster a remarkable community. The dozens of buildings and projects by legendary architects – from mid-century titans such as Eero Saarinen and I. M.

Irwin Miller and local leaders, and the generations-long quest to develop the ideal American city through design excellence.
