National Symposium Call for Abstracts The 2024 National Symposium will take place in Miami and Coral Gables, Florida from May 29-June 1. Researchers, practitioners, and enthusiasts involved in the process of preservation, conservation, renovation or transformation of buildings, sites, and neighborhoods of the Modern Movement are invited to submit abstracts that investigate "Streams of Modernity: Postwar to Postmodern." Miami is a city whose location, diversity, and vibrant growth have historically made it an ideal destination for international travel, business, culture, and leisure. The region became an escape for post-World War II middle America, shaped largely by the desire for leisure and entertainment. Over the past decades, Miami has become a laboratory to explore new urban patterns, building types, evolving aesthetics, and emerging environmental consciousness. The symposium seeks to promote a broader understanding of the accomplishments of postwar to Postmodern architecture and culture, both nationally and in regional contexts such as South Florida, the Caribbean, and Latin America. https://lnkd.in/gpcxscsT
