Much of Santa Fe’s modern design history has been overlooked — or erased — in favor of our romanticized notions about “who we are.” And not all stories of our design history get told.
Santa Fe has over 200 architects and even more multidisciplinary designers in the areas of branding, interiors, fashion, printmaking, and the arts. Many of these renowned designers are rooted in New Mexico, while others hail from around the world. Their work spans genres, generations, and cultures.
This event begins with a trip through twentieth century design in Santa Fe, followed by a panel conversation that explores what we’ve gained, what we’ve lost, and what we can harness from what we’ve learned — to lead us into a better designed, more sustainable, and more inclusive tomorrow—today.
Presented by Design Corps of Santa Fe in partnership with Santa Fe Art Institute and Friends of Architecture Santa Fe.

Santa Fe shifted to a new trajectory in its existence in 1846, when 1200 Americans arrived with Kearny to “settle” the already-quite-settled territory. But it was the 1880 opening of the spur line railroad that forced Santa Fe into a modern way of being. Since that time, we have been a place of making and remaking our image of ourselves as a community.
