Seminary Light
This luminous vignette of the Hartford Seminary captures the clean simplicity and almost magical quality of light that are the hallmarks of Richard Meier's work.
The Hartford Seminary, designed by architect Richard Meier, opened in 1981, was one of Meier’s first commercial projects, and it reflects his self-professed “preoccupation with light and space.”
In its review of the project, the Architectural Record said “If any religious symbol can be said to dominate Richard Meier & Partners’ design for the Hartford Seminary in Hartford, CT, it is the primordial emblem of creation: light. ...this low white building is an arrestingly luminous presence."
“Light seems to come from everywhere in this building to the extent that you’re not always sure of its source,” said Dr. John Dillenberger, who was Hartford Seminary’s president at the time.
