Underwriting supports the
USModernist
Magazine Library, the world's largest open
digital archive of architecture and design magazines: more than 4.1 million pages of
nearly 100
titles going back 125 years - such as Architectural Record, Architecture, AIA Journal,
Architectural Forum,
Progressive Architecture, Atomic Ranch, and many AIA Chapters.
Access to legacy publications has never been more critical
for preservation, and now architects, realtors, owners,
sellers, and buyers have an easy way to research
20th-century architecture magazine coverage. All across
America, old architecture magazines are left rotting in
attics, basements, libraries, and office. In their day, these publications
chronicled the best of Modernist architecture and the era's
talented, progressive architects. Many of these mid-century
Modernist architects and original Modernist clients have
died. The rest are rapidly passing away, their houses
largely forgotten and often needlessly destroyed.
NCModernist's Home and For Sale pages offer 200x300 graphic placements with links. $400 for a month, $1,000 for three months, $1,500 for six months, $2,500 for a year. The website attracts up to 15,000 pageviews a month.
NCModernist Architects Archives: the most popular page on the NCModernist site, underwriting supports ongoing research and documentation of 5,000 iconic mid-century Modernist houses and the lives and careers of over 300 North Carolina Modernist architects. $6,000 exclusive sponsorship annually.
NCModernist Tours, aka Modapalooza, take 100-200 architecture fans on buses to tour new and classic Modernist houses around North Carolina. Tour sponsorship is $3,000, includes participant materials and underwriting credit on social media, website, and emails over the course of the tour.

The Matsumoto Prize encourages young architects, designers, and prospective clients to continue the Modernist movement in houses so important to North Carolina's design heritage.
