Judith Chafee
In this first publication of a planned series of profiles featuring important environmental designers, noted author Lawrence Cheek writes a highly personal and telling account of Judith Chafee, whom he dubs an architect of “the Region of the Mindful Heart.”
Judith was an enigma, a complex, brilliant personality whose mastery of light, shade and form wedded inseparably to the landscape and led to the creation of meaningful architecture.
As you read on you will begin to understand how Judith, while expanding upon the ideas of her predecessors, was able to construct modern, original work in a way that encourages us all to avoid the “style trap.”

I’ve been intrigued by Judith Chafee ever since I saw her name mentioned on Archinect, but have only recently begun to seek out information about her and her work. At first I thought her work had seldom been published because superficially so little can be found about her work; however, with more extensive research, I’ve found several easy-to-access sources, excluding this obscure reference.
This small booklet is essentially a tiny monograph. Content includes seven pages of text, seven large photos and seven small photos of Chafee’s work, three drawings, and two small photos of Chafee. She is also in one of the large photos with a model. All images are b/w.
