An in-depth account of the life and career of Minnesota's first modern architect2024 Docomomo US Modernism in America Award of Excellence2021 Finalist, Minnesota Book Award, Emilie Buchwald Award for Minnesota NonfictionElizabeth "Lisl" Scheu Close (1912–2011) left an indelible mark on Minnesota's built landscape during her six decades as an architect.
In 1938, with her husband, Winston Close, she founded the state's first architecture firm dedicated to modernism. In addition to designing the first International Style house in Minneapolis, the firm also created more than 250 handsome and efficiently planned modern residences.
One of few women who were practicing architects in the mid-twentieth century, she blazed a trail for future generations of women in the profession. As Jane King Hession shows, the trajectory of Lisl's architectural career was shaped by the political, economic, and aesthetic upheavals of the twentieth century.
Raised in a renowned modern house in Vienna, Austria, Lisl was exposed to revolutionary ideas in art and architecture at a young age. Forced to emigrate to the United States as the Nazis rose to power in Europe, she completed her architectural education at MIT. During the Depression, she struggled to find work and encountered challenges as a young woman in the field.
In her pursuit of and devotion to a singular and successful career as a modern architect, she proved herself to be talented, determined, and adept at negotiating obstacles. Through documentation of Lisl's projects, this personal and professional biography also explores multiple aspects of modern architecture, including the innovative use of new materials and technologies, the design of prefabricated houses, and the relationship between residential design and changing American lifestyles.
