Docomomo International is please to inform that the schedule and speakers for the Docomomo US National Symposium 2021 – Chicago: Crossroads of Modern America, are now available in Docomomo US website.

The Docomomo US National Symposium 2021 Chicago: Crossroads of Modern America will take place online Tuesday, May 25th – Friday, May 28th.

“The site of Chicago has been recognized as a crossroads not only for transport, but for its place at the intersection of architecture, culture, and technological change. The notion of “crossroads” reflects not only physical intersections but also a place in time where change itself has a rippling effect. How have transformations in cities and communities evolved to adapt the means and methods of preserving the modern? Are we currently at a Crossroads? Can contemporary issues of sustainable and equitable, connected communities, and resilient regions support this preservation? What level of intervention within the often-narrow confines of preservation is needed to extend the lifespan of the modern built environment? How late is modern?”

Early registration ends May 2nd.
