Modern Ideas | Historic Places
CP-MOUSEEARSresizeJoin us Utah Heritage Foundation's 2009 Preservation
Conference
April 30 - May 2
As we host our third annual Preservation Conference, Modern Ideas | Historic
Places, we take a local perspective on a global challenge. Linking our most
recent generation of historic sites and structures, those that our fathers
built, with those that our grandfathers built.
With newer buildings come new opportunities. That's why Utah Heritage
Foundation is taking a look at our strategies for connecting the public with
the amazing breadth of architecture we are fortunate to have in Utah.
You'll be able to engage in a few education session specifically targeted at
preserving modernism. Since modernity swept the country after World War II
you can find a little piece of it in every city and small town. It went
beyond architecture into interior design, automobiles, fashion, and culture.
