Influential Phoenix architects and architecture​

More from this show

Scottsdale architect Douglas Sydnor recently presented a talk “1950s – 1970s Phoenix Contemporary Architects: The Talented Yet Forgotten” as part of the State of Arizona Research Library’s 2019 Arizona Author Series.  In his talk, Sydnor shared information about several talented architects from those decades and presented examples of their work found in Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tempe, and more. We’ll hear from Sydnor about local architects and their work that many times received national attention. ​
