Jonathan Meades :: Case of the Disappearing Architect (3/5)
‘Abroad Again’ (2007)
“The short and rous career of the most mysterious of High Victorian architects is dissected to show the effects of landscape, Francophilia and adultery on his gigantic buildings. At the age of thirty Cuthbert Brodrick was unknown, supported by his shipowner father, earning infrequent minor commissions in the flatlands around his native Hull. By the time he was forty-five his career was over. Yet during those fifteen years he was, briefly, the most celebrated architect in Britain and designed three tours de force that are the finest secular buildings of their age – the Town Hall and Corn Exchange in Leeds and The Grand Hotel at Scarborough. And after that: nothing save almost half a century of apparently willed obscurity in a Parisian suburb.”

2009 SMoCA Contemporary Catalyst Award Nominee Wendell Burnette
At the annual benefit, the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art honors a group of special individuals whose accomplishments reflect the ideals of creativity, innovation and cultural community that are at the heart of the Museums mission. This annual award acknowledges the cultural entrepreneurs and out-of-the-box thinkers in our midst—those who truly have built the foundations of a creative culture here and on whose shoulders we all stand. Such spirited, entrepreneurial individuals have—through their professional or civic activities—raised the profile of contemporary art, architecture and design in the Valley. We call these individuals Contemporary Catalysts.
Wendell Burnette AIA, Principal, was educated in the practice of architecture through 30 years of experience that spans all aspects of the profession spanning a wide range of commercial and residential work. Wendells curriculum of self-study education includes a three-year period at the Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture. His 11-year ociation with the studio of William Bruder culminated in a six-year design collaboration on the Phoenix Central Library as co-designer, project architect, and field architect. Since 1996, he has led Wendell Burnette Architects as its sole principal in all aspects of development. The specific focus of the practice is concerned with space and light, context and place, and with the environment and landscape in which we live. He is also an equal design partner in I-10 Studio, LLC with Marwan Al-Sayed and Rick Joy which is dedicated exclusively to completing design and documents on a destination eco-resort Hotel and Spa in southern Utah. Wendells work has been featured twice at SMoCA, including the recent Flip a Strip exhibition (2008) and the southwestNET Architecture & Design (2003) exhibition. The Smithsonian Cooper Hewitt National Design Museum in New York also exhibited his work in Design Culture Now. The work of Wendell Burnette Architects has earned numerous honors, including a 1990 Young Architects Award from Progressive Architecture magazine, and most recently a National AIA Honor Award for the Palo Verde Library/Maryvale Community Center.

Carl Anthony remembers Karl Linn
Carl Anthony remembers his first meeting with Karl Linn in North Philadelphia in the 1960s. He describes Linn’s influence on the fields of planning, architecture and landscape architecture, how his community projects provided a model for the first domestic peace corps, and how Linn bridged the intersections of social justice and environmental issues.
Carl Anthony is an architect and planner, Ford Foundation Fellow and former Ford Foundation Director of Community and Resource Development, co-founder and former executive director of Urban Habitat, convenor of the Bay Area Alliance for Sustainable Development, and former president of the Earth Island Institute.
