El Museo is pleased to present Remembering Shoreline, a public symposium held in conjunction with our Shoreline exhibition. This two-day event brings together architects, planners, and researchers from Buffalo and beyond to take a closer look at the history of the Shoreline Apartments, and discuss Paul Rudolph, Brutalism, urban renewal, housing, and preservation.

The symposium will include presentations and panel discussions on topics such as: Paul Rudolph’s architectural ideas and design legacy; Brutalism and “Heroic” architecture; the histories of urban renewal and planning; historic preservation efforts surrounding these sites and structures; and the past, present, and future of housing movements in the United States.
