On this edition of ST, we speak with Christine Madrid French, a Florida-based architectural historian, historic preservation advocate, and author. (You can read about her many and various projects and publications as an architect with a passion for the past at French's website.) French will deliver a presentation called "Saving the Modern Century" tonight, Thursday the 21st, at 5:30pm at the Phlibrook Museum of Art. This event is part of that museum's ongoing Third Thursday series, and it's offered in partnership with Tulsa Foundation for Architecture and Modern Tulsa. French will speak about the critical importance of historic preservation and about the particularly significant architectural works to be seen here in Tulsa.
