3rd Modern Architecture Tour and Symposium
Comments OffThe Jacksonville Chapter of the American Institute of Architects and DOCOMOMO/US Florida are sponsoring their third one-day symposium and tour highlighting the achievements of architecture from the Recent Past in Northeast Florida.
The event will be held at the Cathedral of Faith Church of God in Christ (2591 W. Beaver Street, Jacksonville, FL 32246) on March 13, 2008. A morning session with presentations by important figures from North Florida’s architectural history and others will begin at 9:00 a.m. and last until 11:30 p.m.
The lead presenter will be one of Jacksonville’s best-known architects, Robert C. Broward, who worked with Frank Lloyd Wright during the early part of his career.
An optional afternoon bus tour will visit five of Mr. Broward’s most important buildings. The tour – including lunch prepared by the Ladies of the Church – will be offered at a $60. The morning presentations will cost $5.
All attendees will receive a full-color brochure and driving map of all of Mr. Broward’s buildings in Jacksonville. All attendees will also have the opportunity to join the speakers for lunch on the church grounds after the morning presentations. For those not going on the afternoon tour, lunch will be available for an additional $10.
