West Coast Residential: Figuring (on) a Legacy

West Coast Residential: Figuring (on) a Legacy is a one day symposium that will bring together a number of architects, historians and critics to re-examine mid-century modernism and pursue its influence on contemporary architecture on the West Coast of the United States and Canada. With a range of presentations and opportunity for discussion, Charles H. Scott Gallery offers this symposium as the occasion to ground a better understanding of the development of West Coast residential architecture, reveal connections between cities on the coast and juxtapose modern and contemporary perspectives. The symposium accompanies the exhibition West Coast Residential: the Modern and the Contemporary at the gallery, which features ten houses from five cities on the West Coast. The intent of both symposium and exhibition is to situate rather than isolate the modern within the contemporary moment.
