This event will include three parts: a contextualizing introduction to Nora Wendl’s book Almost Nothing: Reclaiming Edith Farnsworth (University of Illinois Press, 2025) by Professor Adrienne Economos-Miller; an illustrated reading of excerpts of this book by Wendl; and a conversation between Professors Wendl, Economos-Miller, and Sam Schuermann on the themes and topics of the book. Almost Nothing is a critical history of the Edith Farnsworth House (Mies van der Rohe, Plano, Illinois, 1951) written in the form of an auto-theoretical memoir. As such, it engages in topics and questions related to architectural historiography, feminism, preservation, memory, and authorship.
