Professor of Architecture Edward Ford has authored an article in the Oxford American Magazine featuring Professor W.G. Clark's house, of his own design, as one of the "Best Modern Homes of the New South." Prof Ford writes, "W.G. Clark was born in Virginia, educated at Jefferson's University of Virginia, where he now teaches, and lives within a mile of Monticello. But the small house he built for himself is not about Virginia architecture as a Romantic ideal. Rather, it's a response to the reality of a place. It's not about being in Virginia: it's about being in this particular, all too typical location in Virginia. ... as Clark once wrote, 'There is a difference between buildings that merely look Jeffersonian as opposed to the infinitely more difficult task of being Jeffersonian.' Clark's house, imbued with Jeffersonian spirit, does just that: It looks beyond Virginia while responding to what is actually there, quietly defying the architecture of the familiar, of the nostalgic."
