The New Haven Preservation Trust’s Docomomo US Tour Day event features architect Paul Rudolph this year. Rudolph believed ‘we have still to learn how to add to the evolving city without tearing down everything in sight. It is a curious proclamation from someone so intimately involved in re-envisioning the ‘Elm City’ as the ‘Model City.’ No where is this more apparent than at New Haven’s gateway, and specifically, his work surrounding the Chapel Square Mall. Sean Khorsandi, board member at the Paul Rudolph Foundation and DOCOMOMO US/NY Tri-state, will present background on Rudolph, his role and intentions with the Downtown Renewal. The tour will share insights to unrealized plans, design intentions, material choices, and discuss the longevity of this mammoth utilitarian structure in a restless—and evolving City of New Haven.
