DOCOMOMO’s National Modern Architecture Tour Day, Oct. 4
It is hard to imagine America’s landscape without great modernist buildings like New York’s Seagram Building; St. Louis’s Gateway Arch, California’s Charles and Ray Eames Case Study house or Chicago’s Sears Tower. On October 4, DOCOMOMO US, the nation’s largest organization devoted exclusively to the preservation of modern architecture, will hold its second national Modern Architecture Tour Day, in more than 20 cities across the country. The tours are part of the organization’s year-long celebration of its 10th anniversary. In the decade since the official founding of the U.S. section of DOCOMOMO International, the organization has been in the forefront of battles to protect icons of modernism, including New York’s TWA terminal, Boston’s City Hall, and Seattle’s Monorail.
For more information on specific tours, contact DOCOMOMO US at info@docomomo-us.org or call Theo Prudon at 212/721-9502.
