Archival Adventures: Vera Jansone Architectural Collection
Archival Adventures: Vera Jansone Architectural Collection
It's time for an adventure! It’s time for an adventure! Destination: mid-20th century International Style and Mid-Century Modern architecture. This week we’re exploring the architectural designs of Latvian architect Vera Jansone. Jansone studied at the Ecole des Beaux Arts, then worked at the Atelier Le Corbusier, and later studied at the Illinois Institute of Technology under Mies van der Rohe before moving to California to find more opportunities for women in the field of architecture. You can learn more about the collection in the finding aid here: https://ead.lib.virginia.edu/vivaxtf/view?docId=oai/lib.vt.edu/repositories/2/resources/2160.oai_ead.xml
