Funky, round, shiny, noodle-like, organic, boxy.  Recent past, modernism, Miesian, post-war.  No matter what name you can give it, architecture that followed in the footsteps of Germany's Bauhaus movement changed the world's design aesthetic.  Mies van der Rohe issued in a new era with Less is More.  However, the geometric shapes and materials of yesterday are misunderstood, dismissed as ugly or energy hogs, and often demolished - creating more of less.

The national historic preservation movement, including ours here in Utah, is now raising awareness about the significance of these structures in Utah and working with architects, homeowners, business owners, and developers in seeking ways to continue their functional use.  Utah Heritage Foundation's Salt Lake Modern Committee works to preserve, protect, and promote mid-century modern architecture.  Through their work, a range of neighborhoods, architects, buildings, landscapes, and artistic structures from mid-century modern design in Utah will be portrayed here.
