“Mayberry Modernism” at AIA Winston-Salem

Founder of TriangleModernistHouses.com Addresses Architects

March 8, 2010 (WINSTON-SALEM, NC) – George Smart, founder and director of the award-winning website TriangleModernistHouses.com, will speak March 16 to the Winston-Salem Section of the American Institute of Architects.

Smart’s topic will be “Mayberry Modernism:  North Carolina’s Modernist Legacy.”

“We’re excited about having George Smart,” said Section President Chad Everhart AIA. “He has assembled an extraordinary collection of modernist homes in North Carolina and the subject is very relevant to our membership. Our board felt it was important to have George present because many architects do not realize how many great modern buildings we have in our state.”
