LAUNCH Roadtrip - Toledo Art Museum Glass Pavilion

Back Seat Architect: Toledo Glass Pavilion
Saturday, January 26th, 2008

In the spirit of seeing what the world has to offer (at least our conveniently located corner) and in lieu of the last roadtrip up to the Henry Ford Museum and Cranbrook some members of the local LAUNCH community (who's new website I am attempting to work on in all my spare time) are organizing another roadtrip to sunny Toledo. Home of the Mud Hens, Klinger, Pilkington Glass and the first non-smoking music venue I ever went to.

This funtime excursion will be to explore the Toledo Glass Pavilion which was designed by SANAA ltd. of which Kazuyo Sejima will be lecturing at Carnegie Mellon on Jan. 22nd.

I suggest if you have the time, would like to talk design with some local folks or just want an excuse to visit the Delmenhorst of the Midwest I would suggest you see Bradley of ClevelandDesignCity who is organizing this event about sharing a ride (save the planet and all that).

  1. The Toledo trip is a 'go' for January, 26th. There is more info on the linked site regarding time and intinerary, etc.

  2. I truly want to do a road trip to the Breuer show (Vitra Design Museum of Germany) at the National Building Museum in DC before it closes and returns back across the pond on Feb 17. Anyone game for the 6 hour drive and a hotel room (or a hostel room) in DC for a night? (I might be able to get us a place in a nearby home in PA with a once Cleveland brilliant mind who is an expatriate for all the usual reasons.)

    I'll buy the gas, but want company and another driver. Write back here if you have this sort of time, interest and adventurous spirit.
