Survey of Modern Architecture in New Haven: Phases II & III

Site overview

The Survey Award of Excellence is given for the Survey of Modern Architecture in New Haven Website. In selecting the project, the jury noted the very considerable amount of thoughtful work that went into the handsome design, organization and public accessibility of the website. The survey documented 124 examples of Modernist buildings built between 1930-1980. These buildings were then added to New Haven’s Historic Resources Survey that already included 6,000 historic structures. The New Haven Preservation Trust’s intent for completing and making this survey publicly accessible was to “invigorate the community of New Haven’s understanding and appreciation of the rich concentration of 20th-century Modernist architecture” and lay the groundwork for the preservation of “one of the country’s most aggressive modern building programs of the post-World War II era.”

Speaking for the jury Michael Mills stated, “The New Haven survey is an important effort in a city known for its collection of great modern architecture. The community engagement component of the project was very effective and is a model for other efforts of this kind.”
