Description

Join Docomomo US and Docomomo US/SoCal on Saturday, January 31st from 1:00 – 4:00 PM for a special afternoon tour, lecture, and reception at Christ Cathedral in Garden Grove, California. The focus of the event will be Richard Neutra's 1961 Arboretum and 1968 Tower of Hope, both recently and meticulously restored by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Orange. Restoration of the Arboretum won a Docomomo US Modernism in America Award Citation of Merit in 2014. Guests will have the opportunity to see the Arboretum as well as get an exclusive first look at Neutra’s Tower of Hope, the restoration of which was just completed in late 2014. The event will also include the opportunity to hear more about the Diocese’s plan for Philip Johnson's impossibly beautiful Crystal Cathedral (1980), which is currently under construction. The day’s speakers will include Barbara Lamprecht, author, architect, and historian, Daniel Paul, architectural historian, Rob Neal, member of the Architecture and Renovation Committee for Christ Cathedral and Liz Waytkus, Executive Director of Docomomo US. Tours of all three spaces will run concurrently and guests will enjoy a late afternoon wine and cheese reception with friends in Richard Meier's Welcoming Center (2003).

Tickets for the lecture, tour, and reception are $25 for Docomomo US members and $30 for non-members. Limited quantities of the Michael Murphy designed poster and postcards will be available exclusively the day of the event.
