This thesis will analyze each of the characteristics that render modern residential architecture ripe for demolition. I will perform regional case studies of areas with high concentrations of modern residences and evaluate the successes and failures of modern preservation in those areas. The thesis will layout a more pragmatic approach to the preservation of modern residences taking into account the requirements of preservationists, homeowners, and the real estate market. / 0 / SPK / specialcollections@tulane.edu
