Design Lectures

Mid-Century Modern

Cosponsored by Rejuvenation, DoCoMoMo WEWA, Atomic Ranch, National Trust for Historic Preservation

There are a staggering number of buildings that are part of the “recent past.” While there is consensus that century old buildings have historic and architectural significance worth preserving, it’s more challenging for those of us who grew up in the second half of the twentieth century to value the buildings that served us well but don’t have the romantic “old world charm” of older architecture. Nevertheless, post-World War II commercial, institutional, and residential architecture is being explored and written about and is developing an international following concerned for its preservation. Join Historic Seattle and its co-sponsors to learn more about these buildings and the preservation challenges they present.
