  • 1.  Preserving the Kennedy Center

    Posted 11 hours ago

    Let's get ahead of the threat to the Kennedy Center, where the plan is reportedly to reuse the steel. Is AIA / HRC the appropriate body to issue a rundown of the administrative and review procedures required for alterations to a significant building such as this? We can do something before the marble ends up in East Potomac Park with the East Wing!

    DOCOMOMO is on this, so maybe we can consider supporting them.

    What are your thoughts?

    I am a long time Docomomo member and haven't seen and info from them yet.  Do you have a link?

    Thanks for mentioning this.

    I have heard from the DOCOMOMO-US president that they are on it, and Liz has given interviews.
