Mixed in with a heavy dose of nostalgia at Sarasota MOD Weekend was the feeling that the architecture of the 1950s still has something to teach the house designers and consumers of today. That is, that concepts such as the honest use of materials, clarity of geometry, blending of indoor and outdoor spaces and the embracing of new technologies, which were at the heart of the Sarasota School of architecture, are as relevant now as they were 60 years ago.
Three Gulf Coast architects will each present a project from their early professional life as well as a recent one, followed by an analysis of the contrast and how their development as an architect influenced the changes.

A panel discussion and Q+A will follow the presentations.
