Alexander Girard

I forgot to mention that The Compound was designed by Alexander Girard, who is...well...purdy awesome. He worked at Herman Miller in the 50s and 60s as head of their textile division. His fabrics were used in the furniture of George Nelson and Charles & Ray Eames. And on a more manly note, Girard also did some work for the John Deere World Headquarters.

In the late 70s, he donated his folk art collection (over 100,000 objects) to the Museum of International Folk Art in Santa Fe. Definitely worth a look.
