Wenzler, FAIA was only 27 years old in 1957 when he designed the first church in Wisconsin with a thin-shelled concrete roof in the form of a hyperbolic paraboloid. St. Edmund\u2019s Episcopal Church in Elm Grove, WI was so innovative, so unconventional in form and structurally untested that Wenzler flew to Mexico City to consult with Felix Candela, one of the leading engineer-architects of the day, about his design and structural calculations. In the decade to follow, building on the success of St. Edmunds, Wenzler would design three more churches, each uniquely designed around a hypar roof, the last made from wood. This lecture and pop-up exhibition will examine the origins of these unique hyperbolic paraboloid structures, the first churches of their kind in the United States, and will reveal the academic sources, engineering expertise and global inspiration behind these cutting-edge Wisconsin buildings. Concept sketches by Wenzler and construction drawings by his chief draftsman, Michael Johnson, and his in-house structural engineer, David Brandt, held at the Wisconsin Architectural Archive, will be made available for this one-time event both before and after the lecture so attendees can get a hands-on look at the beauty of the construction details and the complexity of the structural geometries required to realize these amazing churches. This is a unique opportunity to look more closely at Wisconsin\u2019s mid-century modern architectural history. A \u201cnot-to-be-missed event\u0022 for architects, engineers, preservationists, and MCM enthusiasts alike."]]],[1,"p",[[0,[],0,"Learning Objectives:"]]],[1,"p",[[0,[],0,"1.

He received his BA degree from the University of Michigan and his MArch from UWM\u2019s School of Architecture and Urban Planning. He has worked in historic preservation all of his post-college years, first for the New York State Historic Preservation Office in Albany, and then for the California Department of Transportation (known as \u0022Caltrans\u0022) in Oakland and Sacramento. After twenty-one years working on compliance with the state and federal historic preservation laws for highway projects, he has returned to Milwaukee to research and write about local architectural history.

As board president of the Wisconsin chapter of Docomomo US, Eric is editing a book on Milwaukee\u0027s 20th century architectural history titled Milwaukee Moderns. Concurrently, he is working with the Museum of Wisconsin Art on two new architecture and design-related exhibitions: the evolution of Frank Lloyd Wright\u2019s early modern furniture, from Taliesin to Usonia, and the photographic work of mid-century Wisconsin architectural photographer Richard H.
