Save a Masterpiece of Modern Architecture!
Target: Sarasota, Florida, School Board
Sponsored by: World Monuments Fund
Sponsored by: World Monuments Fund
On June 17, 2008, the Sarasota School Board voted 3-2 to demolish Riverview High School, an iconic example of the Sarasota School of Architecture designed by Modernist architect Paul Rudolph.
The school district plans to replace Rudolph's building with a parking lot. Despite preservationists' pleas and a viable strategy to convert the historic structure into the Riverview Music Quadrangle, the school board has failed to act in the best interest of Sarasota's architectural heritage.
Please ask the school board to rethink its decision and save this masterpiece of Modern architecture from the wrecking ball!

Once architecural gems are destroyed, it is too late to reconsider. Parking lots can be put up other places, including underground.

I have visited Sarasota many times. My mother in law had a home there. Sarasota needs to maintain its specific architectural character which adds to its gracious lifestyle and attractive environment.
