Modernism at Risk

200803100733Modernism is no new kid on the block. In fact many of the classics were built decades ago and now the years are taking their toll. Some are falling into neglect or are being threatened with demolition. Luckily the World Monuments Fund along with Knoll have step up to the plate to help preserve modern architecture. In order to help out they have a combination of design solutions to help save modern buildings scheduled for destruction, financial assistance for selected modern projects that are endangered, education for the public, and the World Monuments Fund/Knoll Modernism Prize which goes to the designer or firm that does the most to preserve Modern Design. Check out more info at the World Monuments Fund website.
