This exhibition explores the local area's modern architectural design heritage in residential, commercial, public and religious buildings. From examples by internationally known architects to those who practiced solely in mid-Michigan, the modernist style represented a forward-looking approach to contemporary living. Prompted by the State Historic Preservation Office's "Michigan Modern" project (michiganmodern.org), this exhibition offers an appreciation of East Lansing's 1940 - 1970 architecture. It also considers the use of new technologies, modern designs for the home that were available locally, and contemporary art that was popularly collected by homeowners.
