  Preservation of Modernist Buildings Issue Set for March 7
We’re finally getting a handle on the issue of “Preservation of Modernist Buildings,” our promised next theme issue, the topic of which was chosen by you, our readers. We purposely kept our submission rules loosely defined—essays, projects proposed, projects completed, concept ideas, buildings in danger, needed code changes, etc.—and have in hand an excellent and voluminous pool of information from members’ submissions. We look forward to presenting our selections and seeing your comments on March 7.
