Saturday, October 26, 10:30 amJoin Paul Rudolph Foundation board members Dan Webre and Sean Khorsandi for a rare tour of Paul Rudolph's 1960-1964 Endo Laboratories in Garden City. Built as a corporate campus for a pharmaceutical manufacturer, Endo's design employs many of the features common to Rudolph's work of the period, like corduroy concrete, orange carpeting, and inset plate glass. Formally, the headquarters is defined by its novel cylindrical elements and undulating Baroque access ramps. Legible from the Meadowbrook Parkway, Endo exhibits Rudolph's facility for designing at multiple scales for different viewers from the lab table of a research scientist to the dashboard of a passing motorist. Although occupied by a new tenant for different uses, this tour will explore the design intent and evolution of this iconic building. 1000 Stewart Avenue, Garden City, Long Island. Registrants will be informed of the exact meeting place where the tour will begin. Rain or shine.Advance Registration Required. Capacity is strictly limited.This program is part of Docomomo US Tour Day 2024. Tours and events focused on architecture and design of the Modern Movement are hosted throughout the month of October by Docomomo US chapters, partners, and leading voices in preservation across the nation. This year’s thematic focus is corporate campuses. https://www.docomomo-us.org/events/tour-day
