Architecture Sarasota MOD Weekend
November 13 - 15, 2026

Join Architecture Sarasota for the 2026 MOD Weekend (November 13–15, 2026) as they continue to explore and celebrate the enduring legacy of the Sarasota School of Architecture. This year’s active programming brings together architects, preservationists, and design enthusiasts for three days of immersive tours, symposiums, and community gatherings across Sarasota’s most celebrated modern spaces.

About the Sarasota School of Architecture
In the years after World War II, a group of Sarasota-based architects adapted the principles of mid-century modernist design to the unique demands of Florida’s environment in a sleepy artists’ colony off the shores of the Gulf of Mexico. The movement they created helped transform the small town into a cosmopolitan cultural center—and eventually became known as the Sarasota School of Architecture. Today, the movement’s impact goes far beyond the region where it was born. Such celebrated architects as Paul Rudolph, Ralph Twitchell, Victor Lundy, Tim Seibert and Carl Abbott established a globally significant legacy of fearless originality, raw talent, restless invention, honest materials, and design for a human scale. Today, many contemporary modernists continue to build on that legacy, and keep the movement alive.

“There’s a reason a handful of communities in the world stand out for architectural innovation. Sarasota’s one of them. You really do have to see it to believe it.”
– Carl Abbott FAIA, original member of the Sarasota School of Architecture
