Twenty Northwest Architects and Associated Designers

“World's fairs have a way of going down in history as milestones in the development of modern architecture, and certainly the "Century 21" Exposition, that closed in Seattle only a few days before the present show at the University of Oregon opened, will not be an exception. Under such expectation we chose architecture as the feature for the third of our annual exhibitions on Pacific Northwest Art and planned the show in such a way as to supplement, we hoped, the Seattle Fair's presentation of the current state of design among the region's architects. Although we made no mention of the Fair in our letter of invitation, we anticipated a· decision by some of the participating architects to have themselves represented by buildings designed by them for the Fair itself. The fact that none of them so chose led us finally to organize a supplementary display featuring the Oregon Pavilion at the Fair, the structure for which Robert Bosworth of Medford , Oregon, served as the designer; the account of this achievement we have added as an appendix to the present catalogue. Concurrent with the opening of our show was the installation of a fountain specially created by Tom Hardy, Oregon sculptor, for the court of the newly constructed addition to Erb Memoria l Union on our campus. Since this was a collaborative commission from the architects for the addition, Newberry, Roehr and Schuette, in consultation with H. Abbott Lawrence, architect-son of the architect for the Museum of Art and the founder-dean of the School of Architecture and Allied Arts, and also since Mr. Hardy, as done similar commissions for architects included in this exhibition, we felt it appropriate to hold a second supplementary display of the sculptor's recent creations. These works, dating mostly subsequent to Tom Hard y's previous one-man exhibitions at the Museum of Art, February 5-March 23, 1958, and November 3-22, 1959, are likewise described in an appendix to our catalogue.” --Wallace S.
