NAPC's December Webinar: Mid-Century Housing: From Planning to Preservation

United States

Join NAPC for our December webinar: Mid-Century Housing: From Planning to Preservation December 8th at 1PM Eastern Time. FREE for NAPC Members and $10 for the general public.


The post-war period saw a massive building boom across the United States as limited construction during the Great Depression and World War II resulted in a pent-up demand for new homes. The need for quick construction encouraged the development of functional, practical, and economical designs while the growth of mass media led to a rapid spread of a popular modern aesthetic. This webinar will begin with a look at the driving forces behind mid-century development patterns, including design influences and building trends, as well as identifying key housing types associated with the mid-century period. We’ll then move on to preservation, using Denver’s Krisana Park neighborhood as a case study to discuss pattern books and conservation overlays as preservation tools.
