The Chesler Group is proud to be part of Docomomo US’s Tour Day 2013 for a tour of ASM World Headquarters.

The seventh annual national Tour Day brings together Docomomo US membership, chapters, friend organizations, architecture and preservation organizations, students, architects, historians, designers, and enthusiasts to celebrate the modern movement across the US.

Docomomo is short for International committee for the documentation and conservation of buildings, sites, and neighborhood of the modern movement.

Docomomo US is the United States chapter of Docomomo International, a non-profit organization dedicated to the documentation and conservation of buildings, sites and neighborhoods of the modern movement for nearly 25 years.

This year, The Chesler Group, Inc. was contacted to partner in the Docomomo US’s Tour Day 2013 on October 5, 2013 to lead an architectural tour of ASM World Headquarters. We are proud to be one of 50 modern buildings and sites nationwide to offer a tour as a part of Tour Day 2013.

ASM World Headquarters epitomizes the optimistic vision of one of America’s greatest eras – and yet it is as beautiful, functional and inspiring today as it was the day it opened in 1959. After two years of demolition and complex renovation, we have restored the headquarters of ASM International to its original historic grandeur. The recent restoration received numerous international, national and regional awards. It is an incredibly unique structure and one-of-a-kind in our country. If you’re an aficionado of mid-century modern architecture, you really owe it to yourself to experience the building for yourself. A geodesic-domed gem of American Modern architecture near Cleveland is proudly proving that the great buildings of the nation’s mid-20th century can be futuristic and historic at the same time.

Tour will be conducted on October 5, 2013 at 10am. Cost is free but advance registration is required via email at caizu@cheslergroup.com by September 30, 2013.
