Charles Rose is associated in Columbus, Indiana, with the Bartholomew County Memorial for Veterans, dedicated in 1997 after Thompson and Rose Architects won an invited design competition. Designed with Maryann Thompson, the memorial is composed of twenty-five Indiana limestone pillars arranged in a disciplined grid, creating a civic space for remembrance that is both formal and deeply personal. Rose is known for architecture that combines clarity of form with close attention to site, landscape, and the experience of public space. He studied architecture at Harvard, with additional coursework in landscape architecture, and has taught at Harvard, MIT, the University of Virginia, and the University of Michigan.
