Modern Talk

Northwest Mid-Century Architects Oral History ProjectDocomomo WEWA is embarking on an ambitious oral history project that documents the work and lives of men and women who created a Northwest Regional Modern aesthetic in the mid-twentieth century. The architects who designed in the Modern vein in Western Washington in the post-WWII years left a rich legacy of design in our built environment. This project honors that legacy.

We are pleased to have Jack Straw Productions and architectural photographer John Stamets as important partners in this project. Audio interviews will be streamed on our website in the Architects and Designers Biographies section. Photo essays of each architect will include a portrait and examples of their finest work.

If you'd like to volunteer for this project or make donations to help fund the effort, please contact us at info@docomomo-wewa.org.
