About Conservation Conversations:

Beginning in 2023, Architecture Sarasota is initiating conservation studies on iconic Sarasota School structures such as the Umbrella House. As part of this effort, Conservation Conversations engages a series of experts involved in the preservation of the innovative and often experimental materials and building systems employed in modernist structures like Frank Lloyd Wright’s Guggenheim Museum and the buildings of Paul Rudolph’s University of Massachusetts Dartmouth Campus.
