history
,
archaeology
, and
natural
history

services
include
managing

that

, and
museum
building
for the

Groundbreaking

on
August
22
,
1966
. The
new

people
of
Ohio
whose
illustrious
deeds
are
herein
enshrined
and
proclaimed
for the
inspiration
of
all.
"
Upon
its
opening
in
1970
, the
American
Institute
of
Architects
applauded
the
Ohio
Historical
Center
as a "
bold
,
imaginative
,
almost
startling
structure.
"
Architectural
Record
called
it
"the
most
architecturally
significant
public
structure
built
in
Ohio
since
the
State
Capitol
Building.
"
W
.
Byron
Ireland
&
Associates
, a
Columbus
architectural
firm
,
designed
the
Ohio
Historical
Center
building
. The
building
is
an
example
of "
Brutalism
" a
rational
,
structuralist
,
monumental
style
exported
in the
early
1950s
by
French
and
British
architects
.
Distinguished
by its
structural
honesty
and
undisguised
,
blunt
use
of
materials
,
Brutalism
departed
from
conventional
bourgeois
styles
.
Stone
and
marble
were
rejected
in
favor
of
form-textured
concrete
, or
beton
brut
, a
technique
employed
by the
French
architect
LeCorbusier
.
