Discover how Aspen, a small ski town under intense development pressure, built public support for preserving its post-war modern architecture. Three speakers will share the story behind the AspenModern program, recent preservation projects, and Herbert Bayer’s legacy at the Aspen Institute.

We had a stellar evening at The Kirkland seeing their atomic design exhibit and mid-century modern collection! Special thanks to Assistant Curator Becca Goodrum for spending the evening with us and being our tour guide.
We headed east along Colfax Avenue for a special tour of the newly reimagined La Vista Motel. This iconic thoroughfare was once the "Gateway to the Rockies" and hosted a colorful cluster of mid-century motels where tourists would stay along their way to the mountains. Now, the La Vista is renewed as a contemporary motel that honors such vintage charm
The evening kicked off with a talk exploring the history of The Satellite and the influence of architects Roger A. Reeves Associates (formerly Ramsey & Reeves), followed by a tour of the building’s key spaces, including three condo units.
