Yo! Modernism! The View from Philadelphia
On Thursday June 2nd, Principal Michael Schade, AIA will be moderating "Icons Under Pressure," a panel discussion at the 2022 Docomomo US National Symposium. The panel will evaluate recent renovations to mid-century buildings originally designed by VSBA, Marcel Breuer, Mies van der Rohe, and George Nakashima. AOS Architects is one of many sponsors of this year's Symposium, which runs from May 31- June 5, 2022.
This year's Symposium is titled "Yo! Modernism! The View From Philadelphia" and will feature many of the region's best modernist buildings. Panels and guided tours will explore why Modernism still has the power to turn heads, inform, and adapt- and how its many manifestations reflect on local, regional, and broader goals.
One of the featured tours includes a visit to Louis Kahn's Richards Medical Research Labs, the award winning, LEED Gold, renovation and restoration project completed by AOS Architects in 2019.
