National Alliance of Preservation Commissions: From Mansards to McMansions: Styles of the Recent Past

While midcentury modern architecture has received an increasing amount of attention in recent years, many in preservation haven’t yet given much thought to other architectural styles of the recent past. But with the architecture of the 1970s reaching the fifty-year mark, it’s time to give more consideration to what came after modernism. This webinar will be a follow-up to the webinar focused on Brutalist and Postmodern architecture offered earlier this year, focusing on a broader range of styles from the second half of the 20th century from the traditional to the futuristic. We’ll cover styles that need more attention now (Formalism and Expressionism) to those we will be debating in the future (High Tech and Deconstructivism) as well as those we would rather forget (McMansions).
