Event Description:

Eliot Noyes was a remarkable figure in 20th-century design. An
architect who began his career in the office of Walter Gropius and
Marcel Breuer, he went on to become the first Director of the
Industrial Design department at the Museum of Modern Art, New York.
Then, from the late 1950s until 1977, he was Consulting Director of
Design for IBM, Mobil Oil, Westinghouse and Cummins Engine Company,
and was responsible for bringing about a change in the way that these
corporations, and others that followed, were to think about design and
its impact on business. He enlisted pioneering designers to help bring
about innovative architectural, graphic, and industrial design. This
speech will trace the life of this unique architect and designer, who
devoted a great deal of his career to encouraging large American
businesses to respect and develop policies that were rich in cultural
expression.
