Boulder,Colorado's Fine Mid-Century Architecture

Coming up will be the second and third gatherings of Historic Boulder's 2014 Winter/Spring Salon Series. The theme is Boulder's mid-century architecture.

This Wednesday, March 12th, Jack Brokaw, architect, will talk about his first-hand experience carrying the baton of Modern Architecture in Boulder from the 1960's to the end of the 20th Century.  On Wednesday, April 9th, Harvey Hine, architect, will present his contemporary design work and place it in the context of Modern Architecture in Boulder.

These sessions will be held in the Spruce Street Mansion, 1123 Spruce Street in Boulder from 5:30 to 7:00 pm.  Historic Boulder's popular Salons are free and open to the public.  Light refreshments will be served.  

Also on March 19th at 6:30 pm at Boulder's Public Library Auditorium will be a fascinating presentation of The Greenest Building.  It is true that the greenest building is the one that has already been built.  This discussion and screening of The Greenest Building, is an hour-long documentary that considers the question "Is demolition in the name of sustainability really the best use of natural, social, and economic resources?"

Architecture Matters is a spring lecture series that will highlight different topics related to architecture and historic preservation in the Boulder region.  This series is sponsored by the City, Landmarks, Historic Boulder, The Boulder Public Library, the Carnegie Library for Local History, and the Boulder History Museum.
