Mind and Image : An Essay on Art and Architecture

Herb Greene carried forward the American School legacy in his projects throughout the Great Plains area and Kentucky, focusing on contextual relationships to site and climate with an experimental and resourceful consideration of materials. Like his mentors, Greene strives for an individual solution to problem solving, stressing the particular over the general, however his fascination with the role of architectural symbols as a means of expanding individual expression, is an approach that is unique to his personal architecture practice.

Greene’s work is known for original concepts, organic design characteristics and connections to landscape. His architectural drawings are in The Art Institute of Chicago’s archival collection.
