"The invisibility of our modernist tradition to the general consciousness puts an entire and vital period of our heritage at risk," wrote Arleyn Levee, one of those who tried to save the house, in an e-mail. "We need to find some way to highlight this current disaster and turn it around into a positive learning case study."
The AIA Committee on Design (COD) invites architects, students, and allied design professionals to submit sketches to the international 2009 COD Ideas Competition, titled "Listening to the Past, Looking to the Future: A House for Today." In this unique sketch competition, submitters are asked to explore the legacy of modernist design through a concept design problem.
Winners will receive funding to attend the COD Spring Design Conference in Boston and have their work exhibited at the 2009 AIA National Convention in San Francisco. Selected entries will be displayed on the AIA Web site.

Robert Campbell, FAIA, Architecture Critic for the Boston Globe, Cambridge, Mass.
