MODERNISM, INC.: THE ELLIOT NOYES DESIGN STORY

On tonight’s show we’ll be joined by filmmaker Jason Cohn whose latest documentary is Modernism, Inc.: The Elliot Noyes Design Story, about the Harvard and Gropius-trained architect who became one of the leading pioneers of modern design in everything from gliders to the IBM Selectric during the mid-century post-war boom in the United States. Although Noyes did more than anyone to align the Modernist design ethos to corporate America, his career reached a creative crossroads when disruptive designers of the 1970’s began pushing back on the Modernist view of progress.

Hosted by Janet Coleman and David Dozer
