Home | Message Board (links offsite) Atomic Age Alliance Celebrating Mid Century Modern Signage, Architecture, Culture and Business Welcome to the TEMPORARY home page for a brand new Preservation/Education group born out of Las Vegas to not only support ongoing preservation efforts, but also to create awareness for the style/genre of MidMod in new design and architecture. We anticipate having a launch of this group in early 2006. Some of our talking points were create educational opportunities encourage adaptive reuse projects support community action efforts provide continued documentation of historic items encourage encorporation of MidMod style and elements into the fabric of new development promote public awareness through home tours and other tours Not just Las Vegas.... Both the Los Angeles Conservancy Modern Committee and Palm Springs Modern Committee and numerous other historic organizations have specific language in their charters which constrain their activities to a specific geographic area. (of course the members often reach out beyond this). So one of the important ideas behind this group is that although it is being born in Las Vegas, it will not have specific geographical area of interest written into the charter. Thus it will allow the group to be "franchised" out to other cities in need of a Mid Century Modern Preservation entity in the future. Our vision is that other cities could possibly benefit from alliance to a broader reaching group. This is similar to how DOCOMOMO has chapters across the globe. The plan is not to step on any other groups toes, but to provide additional infrastructure to support the preservation process. We hope that the group will have board members from various exisiting organizations such as ModCom, RPPN, SCA, etc... the idea is to "think globally - act locally." The following pro-bono items are needed: 1) Legal assitance - We someone to help us file paperwork to create a non-profit organization 2) Identity program - We are looking to have creative input from Lotta Living community members on this. Please consider posting designs, creative ideas and suggestions here on the board. (one request is that no atomic bomb imagery appear in the logo. atoms and molecules are fine, though) 3) Marketing help - We will need assitance in putting together a solid business plan to figure out how to make this a successful and viable venture.
