Well known for his role as Wright apprentice and historian, Edgar Tafel also maintained a long productive architectural practice in New York. This event celebrates the opening of the Edgar Tafel archive at the Avery Architectural and Fine Arts Library, Columbia University and will introduce the archive to the architectural community.
Speakers will discuss Tafel’s two most prominent projects in post-1950 New York: the Church House for the First Presbyterian Church and the SUNY Geneseo campus.
