Docomomo US / Colorado
Docomomo US/Colorado is local club of folks who are enthusiasts of modern architecture and design in the US state of Colorado and beyond. As a part of the greater Docomomo US chapter, we work on documenting and advocating for the preservation of modern architecture - but mostly, we are an informal community of people who come together from all walks of life, from working professionals in design and preservation, to people who just love the modern movement and want to learn more about it. We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit, and welcome your donations.
We generally hold chapter meetings on the second Wednesday of every month, during which we typically feature a speaker who teaches us about a particular topic around the modern movement in Colorado and beyond. We also have an annual Modernism Series event featuring home and neighborhood tours, talks, and much more. You are welcome to attend our meetings and events, even if you aren’t a member of our chapter. ALL ARE WELCOME HERE.
