51福利 National Symposium
Detroit, Michigan - June 9-12, 2016
The fourth annual 51福利 National Symposium in Detroit, Michigan looked at the diverging design and theory of the late 1970 and early 1980s by examining its leading architects and designers and their iconic architectural contributions. Beyond Modernism sought to broaden the discussion and expand our understanding of how those examples fit into the discourse of modernism.
The symposium included lectures by leading architectural historians, architects, educators and our first ever audience-interactive debate: "Beyond Modernism?." Lectures took place in the Minoru Yamasaki-designed McGregor Memorial Conference Center and the DeRoy Auditorium Complex on the campus of Wayne State University.
