The Detroit Area Art Deco Society is pleased to welcome Docomomo US and Docomomo US/Michigan 2016 National Symposium

Beyond Modernism? Moving the Recent Past Forward.

The two-day symposium will look at the diverging design and theory of the late 1970 and early 1980s through examining its leading architects and designers and their iconic architectural contributions. Beyond Modernism seeks to broaden the discussion and expand our understanding of how those examples fit into the discourse of modernism.

The 2016 Docomomo US National Symposium in Detroit features lectures by leading architectural historians, architects, educators and our first ever audience-interactive debate:Beyond Modernism? Lectures will take place in the Minoru Yamasaki designed McGregor Memorial Conference Centerand the DeRoy Auditorium Complex on the campus of Wayne State University.
