<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Arthur Dallas (A.D.) Stenger is Austin's most beloved mid-century architect. From his very first house in the heights above Barton Springs, he exemplified the creative spirit and exuberant personality that formed the foundation for Austin's Weird Era. Alongside other creative personalities like John Henry Faulk and Cactus Pryor, A.D. helped cultivate a culture of intellectual pursuits, environmental engagement, and eccentric individualism in the then-sleepy Central Texas college town. The openness and acceptance of Austin as a place that author Billy Lee Brammer surreptitiously described as having "room enough to caper" made it the perfect context for A.D. to bring modern sensibilities through his architectural capers to Austin's burgeoning creative middle class.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;">The series will focus on how to bring mid-century properties in line with current homeowner expectations, sustainability standards, and construction practices. These homes often have small kitchens, broad expanses of single-pane glass, and seemingly outdated finishes. This often leads the realty industry to value them for little else than their land and replacement value. We’ll look at ways in which experienced architects have worked with homeowners to thoughtfully rework interior spaces and site plans, improve energy efficiency, and design additions which respect and enhance a home’s original design intent. We’ll also discuss how to work with pioneering mid-century construction methods and materials that may no longer be in use today, but can be improved to make these houses not only livable, but desirable.</span></span></span></div>

Join us to learn about one of Austin’s most striking Modern examples of ecclesiastic architecture –<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://docomomo-us.org/news/saint_martin%E2%80%99s_evangelical_church_modernity_and_continuity" style="color: orangered; text-decoration: none; word-break: break-word;" target="">St. Martin's Lutheran Church</a>. Completed in 1960, the church was designed by Robert Mather of Jessen Jessen Millhouse and Greeven as a Modern abstraction of the Christian basilica. The building features an arresting Modern chapel with a soaring vaulted nave and dramatic stained glass, a remarkably intact sanctuary, and sculpture by Charles Umlauf, as well as a more utilitarian education wing including classrooms, kitchens, and a basketball court.</div>

Rockport in 1904, was an architect who started his career
designing neo-classical tract houses before turning to Modernism in the
1950s. </span><span style="background-color: white; display: inline ! important; float: none; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">Ryan is best known for his Mid-Century Modern houses in the Terrell Hills neighborhood. As his work has often<span style="background-color: black;"></span> been overshadowed by that of his San
Antonio contemporary O'Neil Ford, our organization is excited to highlight some of Ryan's residential and institutional work.</span></span></span><br />

Motors company was the distributorship of Volkswagen and Porsche automobiles for
a five-state area which included Texas.<span> </span>Constructed in 1963, this building was one of

glass and steel portion of the building was an automobile showroom for the
Volkswagen dealership, while rear and side structures served as maintenance
facilities.<span> </span>The building was awarded a
Texas Society of Architects Honor Award when it was completed, and, at its
opening in 1964, was dubbed “One of the World’s Most Beautiful Dealerships” by <i>Weathervane</i> magazine.<span> </span>Volkswagon was the original owner and
operator of the property from the 1960s until it was leased to Ugly Duckling
Car Sales and then to Drive Time, who operated the building until their lease

country’s neighborhoods maintained a decidedly traditional feel with decades of
ornate Victorian-era style homes and throwback revival styles referencing
earlier Colonial, Neoclassical, Tudor, and Mission architecture. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">Things changed when new and pioneering Prairie
and Craftsman styles came into popularity in the early 1900s. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">These styles featured low-pitched roofs, widely
overhanging eaves, cornice/façade details emphasizing horizontal lines, and
brawny porch supports, and were the first ‘modernist’ buildings in the sense
that they were new indigenous architectural styles not based on historical
precedents.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">Although distinct from contemporary
Victorian and revival styles in appearance, both Prairie and Craftsman houses were
still partially defined by their use of decorative elements, which tied them to
the Arts and Crafts movements that placed great value on the expression of
craftsmanship and the manual arts. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">At the same time that Prairie and Craftsman styles were spreading
en masse across the country through new suburban developments, a radical new
style was emerging: Modernism. Inspired by modern art movements such as
Cubism and industrial mechanization, the new style embraced a more stripped-down
expression of building parts. Pioneering
uses of concrete instead of wood meant that traditional building structural
elements were physically unnecessary and revolutionary new forms could be
accomplished.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">The Art Deco movement blossomed out of this exposition. It was
immediately distinctive for its applied geometric ornamentation and emphasis of
vertical lines. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">Art Deco’s heyday was
fairly short-lived, and the style quickly grew into the Moderne movement in the
early 1930s. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">Moderne buildings embraced
curved walls and horizontal lines, and, influenced by steam ships and cars of
the era, had a sleek look that implied movement.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">The International Style was introduced to the
United States in the 1930s as an extension of the Moderne styles developed by
European architects such as Le Corbusier and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">The International Style eschewed meaningless ornamentation
and embraced modern building materials and technologies:</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">namely, the use of steel skeleton

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The Modern styles never eclipsed the more traditional
building design in American residential architecture. This owed in part to the ease of construction of
more traditional styles – with readily-available dimensioned lumber – and partly
to the sentimentality of Americans in the period between the World Wars. This feeling was stronger in the United States
after World War II, when most residential architecture consisted of stripped-down
versions of more traditional styles. Elements
of the International style were softened and adapted into what is generally
known as Modern residential architecture across the country. Most major examples of the Moderne and
International residential styles are grouped in certain urban areas on the East
and West Coasts, although houses of these styles can be found scattered
throughout cities of all sizes across the country. The houses are generally noted within the
community for their unique and stylistic appearance. </span><br />

with parapet walls that have an emphasized coping. Porch roofs have curved corners and are
cantilevered with no visible means of support, or with overemphasized fin
walls. Architectural elements generally
have a horizontal line, mimicking the movement of air across the building. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Fans of Modern architecture flocked to Texas this March for the second annual Docomomo US National Symposium. The symposium, which took place at the Philip Johnson-designed University of St. Thomas, examined Modernism's legacy and considered its future in Houston and throughout the country. The conference was co-hosted by our friends at <a href="http://houstonmod.org/" target="_blank">Houston Mod</a>.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The symposium kicked off with a chapter forum at the Brutalist-style Alley Theatre in downtown Houston. Leadership from Docomomo US chapters throughout the country came together to discuss issues facing their organizations including general chapter operations, the challenges of building membership, and the importance of social media. The forum was followed by a walking tour of downtown Houston and a kick-off reception. Friday and Saturday were filled with an impressive series of presentations by leading architectural historians, archivists, architects, preservationists, and educators about Modern architecture and preservation. Specific topics ranged from Texas Modernism, the current state of preserving Modern buildings, the ground-breaking work of architectural archivists, and the challenge of preserving the ephemeral. The symposium provided a national audience of Modern enthusiasts the chance to see many of the significant Modern resources we have here in Texas: attendees learned about the work of O’Neil Ford at San Antonio’s Trinity University, the Superdome, the El Paso Public Library, radical Architect/Artist Doug Michels and his art agency Ant Farm, and how Modern architects dealt with the abundance of sunlight and heat here in Texas. The sessions were followed by a bus tour of Modern Houston.</span><br />

Jessen Millhouse and Greeven. Haskins says that this "[m]id-century
abstraction of the primitive Christian basilica represents a synthesis of
international movements in architecture and liturgy uncovering archetypal
models of inhabitation and ritual." We encourage you to read the full

The 2013 Docomomo Mid Tex Mod Tour Day was a great success and was an informative and enjoyable way to learn more about John Chase's work in East Austin. We were especially fortunate to have the super talented photographer Brent Humphreys document Chase's work for a pop up exhibit at the Carver Center. We were also thrilled to have speakers Fred McGhee and Stephen Fox talk about Chase's work in Austin and Houston respectively. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 14pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;">By
Kim Barker on behalf of the <a href="http://docomomo-us.org/" target="_blank">Docomomo US</a>/MidTexMod Chapter<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;">Changes
are planned for San Antonio’s world’s fair site, HemisFair ‘68, and they have
fans of modern architecture concerned. Intended to celebrate the city’s
250-anniversary and a confluence of cultures, HemisFair ’68 was a six-month
exposition opened by First Lady Ladybird Johnson<b> </b></span><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">in <span style="color: windowtext;"><a href="http://www.thesocietydiaries.com/2013/01/hemisfair-68-san-antonios-international-debut/" target="_blank">April 1968</a></span> </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">. Typical of a world’s fair, various states,
nations, and corporations built new exhibition halls in the styles of the
period, some of which are exceptional examples of modern architecture.
Given San Antonio’s established preservation ethic, they also retained and
repurposed some of the nineteenth century residential buildings already on the
site before the rest of the neighborhood was sacrificed for fair
construction. HemisFair ’68 attracted 6.3 million visitors but
under-utilization since is now prompting redevelopment plans.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;">A
number of iconic buildings were constructed specifically for HemisFair ’68,
including but not limited to the Tower of the Americas, Institute of Texan
Cultures, and Confluence Theater. The Tower of the Americas stands 622
feet tall with a rotating top house that served as an observation deck and
restaurant. Designed by <b>Ford, Powell & Carson</b></span><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">, the Tower served as HemisFair
‘68’s theme building, and remains the tallest observation tower in Texas.
The Institute of Texan Cultures, designed by <b>Caudill Rowlett Scott</b></span><span style="font-family: Helvetica;"> and <b>Collins & Wagner</b></span><span style="font-family: Helvetica;"> to house exhibits and archives
on Texas history, is a strong example of high style architecture of its time
with its sculptural massing and constructivist minimalism. And, the Confluence
Theater by <b>Marmon Mok Associates</b></span><span style="font-family: Helvetica;"> of San Antonio is an exceptional example of New
Formalism with tapered concrete columns around book-matched travertine on one
side of the round building, and bronze-colored glass panels on the other half.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;">Overall,
changes to HemisFair ’68 since the fair have been fairly minimal, with the loss
of a few mid-century buildings and the addition of fairly limited new
construction. In 1975, the federal government adaptively rehabilitated
the Confluence Theater as a U.S. Courthouse and the associated Exhibit Hall
became a training center. A new seven-story federal office building was
constructed nearby. A convention center and the Institute of Texan
Cultures continue to anchor opposite sides of the site although the growing
convention center market has demanded regular expansion of the original
building; the Institute of Texan Cultures remains unaltered. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;">Fair
planners envisioned that the site would continue to serve various fairs after
HemisFair ’68 closed, but it has been largely under-utilized in the ensuing
decades. Small efforts to draw visitors to the fair site, including a
large playscape and a welcoming archway, have proven unsuccessful.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;">In
2009, HemisFair Park Area Redevelopment Corporation was formed to manage and
oversee large-scale redevelopment of the fair site. Two years ago, they
developed a <a href="http://www.hemisfair.org/vision/master-plan/" target="_blank">Framework Plan</a></span><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">, endorsed by the City of San
Antonio, that includes demolition of all buildings constructed for HemisFair
’68 except the Tower of the Americas, reinstatement of the residential street
grid that existed prior to the fair, large-scale mixed-use development, and the
creation of additional parkland. Redevelopment plans are now moving
forward. The Confluence Theater is further threatened by demolition
by the City of San Antonio after the building transfers from federal ownership
to the City in the next few years.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;">The
pre-HemisFair ’68 buildings are all protected by Texas’ highest designation,
State Antiquities Landmark, which requires a permit from the Texas Historical
Commission (TX State Historic Preservation Office) before any modifications may
occur. But none of the buildings constructed for HemisFair ’68 are
protected in this way, and they do not have other state or federal designations
either (redevelopment is subject to review by the City’s Historic & Design
Review Commission as a local historic district). </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;">Texas
Historical Commission previously determined that both the Tower of the Americas
and Institute of Texas Cultures are eligible for listing in the National
Register of Historic Places, and, at the time of writing, eligibility of
HemisFair ’68 as a historic district is under consideration. MidTexMod is
hopeful that the other architecturally significant HemisFair ’68 buildings,
including Confluence Theater will also be determined individually
eligible. We believe that determinations of National Register eligibility
are important to gathering the community support necessary to save these unique
buildings from the wrecking ball.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;">Local
opinion appears to be shifting towards recognizing the importance of HemisFair
’68 and the architectural significance of at least some of its buildings, aided
in part by various organizations drawing attention to the site. In 2011,
MidTexMod hosted a Tour Day event at HemisFair ’68. The San Antonio
Conservation Society, a non-profit advocacy organization, hosted a day-long
symposium on modernism in 2012, and has come out in support of retaining
significant HemisFair ’68 buildings. And, AIA San Antonio will host a <span style="color: windowtext;"><a href="http://www.aiasa.org/index.php/committees/associates">design charette</a> </span></span><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">entitled, “A Brutal Redesign: Reimaging
HemisFair’s Modern Buildings” in mid-April. We are optimistic that such
efforts will lead HemisFair Park Area Redevelopment Corporation to revise their
redevelopment plans and retain these important buildings.</span></div>

Saying 1961 home isn’t historic, Austin council OKs demolition</h1>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
A $1.1 million dollar mid-century modern home by noted Austin architect Leonard Lundgren in West Austin is being allowed to be demolished. Lundgren is a UT Austin architecture graduate who designed the fantastic Adams Extract Building (now demolished) and the characteristic round Holiday Inn Hotel building (Austin's is at IH35 and the river) around the world. </div>

Sunshine sparkled through the
three revived fountains. A forgiving wind blew through the jagged
overhangs that define the octagonal structure that sits behind a
kidney-shaped pond.<br />
<br />
Lovers of the Fannie Davis Gazebo couldn’t
have picked a better day to rededicate the 1970 edifice, the first
structure built on Lady Bird Lake after the Longhorn Dam was completed.<br />
<br />
On Oct. 27, the original builders — and those who protected it through
the years — gathered just south of the pool to recount the story of the
modernist gazebo, which on several occasions faced removal or radical
redesign. Every time, the mighty force that conceived and built it — the
Austin chapter of Women in Construction — intervened. <br />

Her talk was a whirlwind tour that included the story of the Astrodome, landmarks of NASA history, architecture of private homes and post-war suburban expansion. It included Houston's earliest modern-era skyscrapers that transformed the Houston skyline, among other fascinating adventures in Texas modernism. <br />
