While Pasadena is generally associated with the early 20th-century architecture of the Craftsman bungalow, the city also has a rich, yet lesser-known legacy of modern architecture.  Pasadena Heritage presents the area’s significant modern architectural legacy through a tour of houses designed by renowned Southern California architects, a panel discussion, and two new oral histories of key period architects active in the region.
