Docomomo US Tour Day

Sat Oct 14, 1 – 2 pm

Hosted by New Haven Preservation Trust
Details See the evolution of New Haven’s urban planning from large-scale, sweeping urban renewal to the reactive response of adaptive renovations and historically-sensitive contextual projects. This walking tour will cover several prominent buildings and spaces of the 1970s and 80s along the New Haven Green and the Arts District of Audubon Street. Unbuilt projects such as I.M. Pei’s and Paul Rudolph’s City Hall visions will be shared.

The Audubon Arts District features a pedestrian-friendly street of visual, music and performing arts schools, theaters, studios, non-profits and the Community Foundation, mixed with a variety of retail shops, residences and small businesses.

Covering five blocks, the tour will see about 15 notable buildings and plazas by such architects as Cesar Pelli, Herbert S. Newman, William F. Pederson, Frank Winder, Roth & Moore, and others.

This tour will be led by NHPT board member Channing Harris. Free and open to the public, advance registration required.
