#solomonstemple — Public Fediverse posts

"#Buildings tell us about the #art, #technology, and #economics of the eras that produced them. But they also carry human #stories — the #architects, #engineers, #entrepreneurs, #patrons, and communities who imagined and built them. #Scholars have never identified a #Jewish style of architecture. #StanleyTigerman, a generation later and the grandchild of Eastern #European Jewish #immigrants, broke directly into #Chicago’s top firms without needing that workaround. He spent a career trying to find a Jewish style of architecture, tracing lines all the way back to #SolomonsTemple in his 1988 #book Architecture of Exile — and admitted the connection was “a real stretch.” There isn’t one. What there is instead is something more interesting: #Jews living across different eras who helped shape the urban landscape around them while navigating questions of identity, opportunity, community, and belonging. This column will explore those #stories."
