If you have found this site, you know "modern architecture" does not always mean glass and steel. It is just as modern and more relevant than ever to discuss an architecture of humanism for today. An architecture comprised of livable spaces filled with lasting beauty that enriches people's lives is attainable. Some historians say that the architects of the Renaissance were the first "modern" architects. A reconnection with the architecture and principles of the Greeks and Romans resulted in a renewed confidence in "man as the measure." This belief continues to today with many architects and admirers of architecture seeking a meaningful link with the past while revealing ideas for the future. We would like to celebrate them here.
