" A
great chance to sit and talk and visit around a table of good food! In addition
to the movies and tours, this is another wonderful way to meet new friends and
see old ones who share our common love modern architecture and find out what
else we have in common. Definitely another two-thumbs up experience with TMH."

God's Architects
2011-2012 Nowell's Architecture Movie Series
Galaxy Cinema, Cary
Zak Godshall filmed this moving documentary that studies
and celebrates five solitary designer/builders from Arkansas, California,
Louisiana and Mississippi. He details how and why these five men, who
operate with neither funding nor blueprints, unknown to one another, dedicate
their lives to creating architectural worlds drawn from the wilds of their
imagination.
“I think I was initially attracted to these guys because
they are working without blueprints, without funding and really going off what
they felt was intuition or inspiration,” Godshall says, “and to me that was an
inspiring situation to be in.” The young filmmaker says he learned a lot
while working with these self-taught builders. “These guys really do bare their
hearts in this movie. They’re very genuine, and I think it comes across, and
people feel that." About 60 people attended.

"About
last night, my feedback is nothing but stellar!! I would say the following
regarding the experience: the conversation was stimulating.
The food was delectable. The energy was static. All in all, it was
a fun and fascinating night brimming with appreciation and excitement for modern
architecture." -- Lesley Alizieri
""Appetite for Architecture - fabulous
food, fabulous company, fabulous conversation..." --
Lesley Kees
"I thoroughly enjoyed last night's dinner.
The conversation was scintillating and brought together the areas' best
and brightest minds who have a mutual love of modernist architecture.
So much brilliance in one place can change the world--and will.
I felt as if I was attending a cozy salon of like-minded
individuals---passionate about modern architecture.
The inevitable cross-pollination of ideas at the table was positive and
reflected the diversity of the Guest Speakers and attendees as well.
I can only guess how many ideas were incubated and germinated last night.
The landscape of our region will be the better for it.
Everyone there was warm, gracious and lovely.
I look forward to getting to know many of the attendees individually as
new friends and associates were made last night.
I hope to attend other events in the future and look to volunteer and assist the
group in any way possible. Your
vision is inspiring, and your passion as a proponent of modernist architecture
is infectious." -- Lindy Shoaf
