Docomomo US announces 16 recipients of the 2024 Modernism in America Awards, which celebrate the documentation, preservation and reuse of Modern buildings, structures and landscapes. S+A accepted an Award of Excellence for the Heritage at Risk Survey, completed in 2023 for Miami-Dade County.
This survey provides a critical assessment of postwar development and its impact on the county's architectural landscape. Launched in 2021, the project integrates innovative methodologies that connect historic preservation with broader planning and development policies. It focuses on areas facing redevelopment pressures, gentrification, housing affordability challenges, and climate resiliency, while also ensuring inclusive representation of historically underrepresented communities.
