The Architecture of Columbus (2017): All the buildings featured in the film by Kogonada.

Director: Kogonada
Director of Photography: Elisha Christian

I recently saw Columbus, and among many things that I love about that film, I got very curious about all the buildings that are featured in the film.
Kogonada did say that the architecture equalled to actors in this debut film of his, so it would make sense to have the post credits, right?

Here it goes:
(Most buildings and architects are hyperlinked for when you desire more information)

1. Cleo Rogers Memorial Library. / I.M. Pei.
   Casey and Gabe’s workplace.

2. First Christian Church./ Eilel Saarinen.
Our introduction to Casey with her trying to remember the trivia on the assymetrical yet balanced facade of the Church.
(Also the place where Jin’s father collapses)

3. Miller House / Eero Saarinen.
Opening shot of the film, the place where later Casey and Jin go for a tour as well.
Also Casey’s #1 favourite building.

4. Irwin Union Bank. (First Financial Bank) / Deborah Berke.
Casey’s #3 favourite building but probably the one that she is most moved by.

5. Irwin Conference Centre. (The Irwin Union Bank)/ Eero Saarinen.
Also Casey’s #2 favourite building.

6. The Inn at Erwin gardens
Residence of Jin. (and his father)

7. North Christian Church./ Eero Saarinen.

8. Stewart Bridge./ J.Muller.

9. Columbus Regional Health: Mental Health Centre/ James Polshek

10.A Mill race Park Observation Tower/ Michael Van Valkenburgh

10.B Mill race Park Covered Bridge/ Michael Van Valkenburgh
(Sitting at Round Lake)

11. Republic Newspaper/ Myron Goldsmith
We also see Casey go in to apply for a job here.

10. Southside Elementary/ Eliot Noyes

11. Bartholomew County Memorial for the Veterans./ Thompson & Rose.

12. City Hall./ Edward Bassett.
Probably in Casey’s tweens.
(probably my favourite)

I am guessing if you’re here, you have already watched Columbus. In case you haven’t, here is the trailer:

Miller House Gardens. Extra shot because I just love this frame so.

Special mention: I think Haley Lu Richardson was absolutely phenomenal in the film.
