John M. Johansen — Smith Elementary School
I spent part of last week doing some work for The Cultural Landscape Foundation, in conjunction with their upcoming retrospective of modernist landscape architect Daniel Urban Kiley. More on that in a bit.
The weather decided not to cooperate for much of my time in Columbus, however that gave me an opportunity to seek out some of the other buildings. I was able to get a tour of a pretty cool Johansen building.
John M. Johansen designed the eye-catching school in 1969, featuring brightly painted steel ramps or “tubes” connecting the multi-levels of the reinforced concrete and bronze-tone corrugated steel structure. Christian Johansen designed the expansion and renovation in 1997.

A Day in Nashville
Last week, I took a day trip to Nashville to see a friend, and attend the Jim James concert. We had a good time running around Nashville. We meet the fine folks at Imogene + Willie. They asked me to take a group photo outside their shop with an old Polaroid camera. I was happy to do so, and then we took one for me. They had several seamstresses not only onsite, but visible to the public to do all their alterations. Pretty cool.
On the way back to Columbus I took some back roads of Kentucky and found a stunning horse who was quite photogenic. Oh, and the concert was terrific! Here are some photos.
