Careers In Modernism

  • Tredegar Iron Works 500 Tredegar Street Richmond, VA, 23219 United States (map)


Careers in Modernism will highlight the work of Will Scribner, FAIA and Sanford Bond, FAIA, architects whose work has enhanced Richmond's built environment starting in the 1970s. Both Will and Sandy have been awarded the Noland Medal, the highest honor bestowed by the AIA Virginia, in recognition of their architectural accomplishments over time, and celebrating their efforts beyond the expected scope of the profession.

Will and Sandy both began their careers in Richmond at Glave Newman Anderson (now Glave & Holmes), a firm whose projects celebrated modern architecture, whether in buildings they renovated and expanded or in new construction. Both later started their own firms. First Sandy started SB Architects, later opened BCWH with three partners, and finally co-founded 3North. In 1992 Will established Scriber Messer Brady & Wade, now known as SMBW, with three partners.

Our conversation with Will and Sandy will be moderated by Modern Richmond board members Mimi Sadler and Maggie Schubert.
