As the architectural contagion spread through Columbus, Saarinen fils wrought a hexagonal house of worship for the North Christian Church, which...
...doors can be temporarily folded back, leaving a clear view of the dancing flames-as in a fireplace. A compromise between the Franklin and the open hearth is a heat-efficient device called the Thermograte, a tubular convection unit that can be inserted in the fireplace, enclosed with a glass front and boosted with a blower...
