Docomomo International, the leading organization dedicated to the documentation and conservation of buildings and sites from the Modern movement, has published an extensive review of Reglazing Modernism. Authored by AYON Studio Principal Angel Ayón (with Uta Pottgiesser and Nathaniel Richards), Reglazing Modernism - Intervention Strategies for 20th Century Icons (Birkhäuser, 2019) explores twenty international case studies of culturally significant Modern buildings in the US and Europe where the exterior glazed assemblies have been subjected to various types of interventions. Penned by Prof. Dr.-Ing. Joseph Tomlow, the Docomomo International review deems Reglazing Modernism "a first class lesson for all who have to decide on Modern Movement heritage and who ask how they get a road map to meet [its] inherited complexities."
