History
The landscapes of North Christian Church and of Concordia Theological
Seminary by Dan Kiley reveal his philosophical commitment to modern design
and his mastery of the art of landscape architecture. As collaborations
between Kiley architect Eero Saarinen, these two Indiana masterworks illustrate
their designers' conviction that design and life are inseparable. Their
partnership was recognized in 2001 with National Historic Landmark recognition
for its work in Columbus, IN, the highest national honor an American property
can achieve. Elsewhere on this website the reader will learn that the
Indiana Department of Transportation plans to widen a road that will destroy
part of the Kiley's North Christian Church landscape. Of equal concern,
a tornado recently devastated the Ft. Wayne, IN, Concordia campus which
lost 779 of the trees that helped to define its significant spaces and
visual relationships Help is needed to preserve North Christian Church's
and Concordia Theological Seminary's notable Modernist landscapes.
