The Los Angeles Conservancy Modern Committee is a volunteer group formed in 1984 in response to the rapid destruction of a generation of postwar buildings. The Modern Committee's focus is 20th century architecture and related fields which reflect the heritage of Modernism and popular culture. The Modern Committee plans tours, exhibitions and lectures, researches and nominates buildings for landmark designation, and serves as an advocate for Modern design. But the real world of tomorrow has been less than kind when looking back at its own first steps. Tragic remodeling and wanton demolition of many of our greatest Modern buildings has already taken place.
Meetings are generally on the third Monday Night of each month.
