The 2015 Trade Show was at The Tucson Community Center. is part of the 80 acres and ten years of building spawn by the 1965 capital improvements bond issue, in which two-thirds of the money was provided by the federal government as a Title I renewal project. The community center is composed of three buildings: a Convention Center, arena and exhibition hall. The original building by Friedman & Jobusch with Cain Nelson Wares and Cook, exhibits monumentality with a brutalist character, through smooth poured-in-place concrete and split faced CMU. An addition with pyramidal skylights was added in 1989 by Anderson DeBartolo Pan. A more recent renovation was completed by Cannon Design.

The Warehouse District Tour ended at the former speakeasy, adapted to market, The Duce. The owner's shipped 2 whole bars directly from Chicago, their home town. The drinks, food, and atmosphere is pure Chicago, but without the wind, cold and snow.

Took a walk South on Stone for lunch during the opening weekend of Tucson Modernism Week 2016. Here's what I saw.

Part of the Modern Tucson 2013 Home Tour was this new re-development on the Westside of Tucson. This house is comprised of four rooms distributed around a courtyard to optimize natural light and ventilation on a tight urban infill site. The south façade is structural adobe, employing thermal mass to modulate interior comfort. A steel brise-soliel shades southern glass during the warm months but allows direct solar gain in the winter. Exposed masonry, steel, and concrete finishes require little long term maintenance, and custom steel elements add visual interest to the simple palette of materials and colors.
