TYPOLOGICAL STUDY ON ONE CATEGORY OF GRANT PROJECTS FROM THE GETTY FOUNDATION’S “KEEPING IT MODERN” PROJECT PART 1: LARGE SPACE STRUCTURE

Abstract

The Getty Foundation ran the “Keeping It Modern” project from 2014 to 2020. Keeping It Modern publicly solicited and sponsored projects that advanced conservation activities of important 20th century modern architecture from all over the world. The first half of this study typologically categorized the 77 grant projects supported by Keeping It Modern by location, building type, and year of completion. The second half compared the seven large-space architectures by origin and history, structural features, and conservation plan.
