The Hoosier Modernisms of Evans Woollen

The impact of prolific Modernist architect Evans Woollen (1927-2016) can be seen in sites throughout Indianapolis from iconic public landmarks like Clowes Hall and the Minton-Capehart Federal Building to custom private residences. Featuring both new and never-before-seen archival photography, authors and photographers Phillip Cox and Niall Cronin present an in-depth look at Woollen’s legacy from their newly published book, What a Building Does: The Hoosier Modernisms of Evans Woollen, highlighting the progression of Woollen’s career and the architect’s complex relationship to his hometown of Indianapolis.
Phillip Cox and Niall Cronin, both native Hoosiers now living in New York City, collaborated on What a Building Does, published by Indiana University Press in September 2025. Cox, a writer, previously worked for the design firm Pentagram. Cronin, a photographer, has shown work at the Indianapolis Museum of Contemporary Art (iMOCA) and Edington Gallery, and has been published in the Financial Times, Fast Company, and Time Out.
Sponsored by Indiana Landmarks’ affinity group Indiana Modern.
