their mission is to promote the preservation of buildings from the recent past and help others who are trying to do the same. Too often we lose important buildings that are less than fifty-years old, buildings that are considered "out of style," or buildings that are declared "non-contributing" to history at the civic, state, or national level. It is our goal to educate and inform the public and politicians about the value of structures from the mid century and beyond.
your resource for modern, post-modern and contemporary design of the 20th-21st centuries where you'll find information on designers and producers, on furniture, lighting, dinnerware and accessories.

visit the Alexander Girard wing of the Museum of International Folk Art while in Santa Fe. Girard was an avid collector of Mexican folk art and donated over 100,000 pieces to the museum. |
