Modernism Renewed Film Premier & Panel Discussion

 

AIA Cleveland in partnership with The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA), is excited to invite you to the premier of the film, Modernism Renewed, by renowned film maker Thomas Ball.  This 30 minute documentary addresses the significance of structures from the modern-era, points out the common failures they are facing, and provides an overview why this preservation solution was appropriate for this building and how it might be appropriate for other buildings of this type.  GSA inventory includes approximately 600 modern-era buildings across the nation.  The A.J. Celebrezze Federal Building, in downtown Cleveland, is nearing construction completion on a façade over-cladding project that preserved much of the buildings original design integrity.  This film focuses on the unique double wall solution as a "preservation" approach to renewing the viability of the historic property and extending its functional use well into the future.

Immediately following the film, a panel of the key professionals involved in this project, will discuss this rich convergence of design, technology and preservation issues.
