The Cause: For architecture fans, Modernist houses evoke a passionate optimism and true love. These houses connect people to nature and the land through carefully designed spaces that are relaxing, compelling, and utterly addictive. Modernist houses are livable sculptures, and many of these mid-century sculptures are endangered. Their locations, often on prime real estate, can be worth much more than the houses, making demolition and development an attractive option. By providing unrivalled documentation, USModernist helps Modernist houses in danger and raises awareness about Modernist preservation to preserve the legacy of exceptional residential design.
A passionate group of architecture enthusiasts, preservationists, and experts working together to save and celebrate Modernist residential design.
