The Phoenix Office of
Arts and Culture Public Art Program partnered with the Phoenix
Office of Historic Preservation in 2006 to create the Historic
Buildings Photography Project. Recognizing the rapid rate of
development in Phoenix, this project intends to capture a specific
historical era in local architecture. The City commissioned
artist Michael Lundgren to create a photographic portfolio of
important Phoenix buildings from the latter half of the 20th
century. Lundgren worked closely with the Public Art Program
and the Office of Historic Preservation to select the buildings
and to create a view of each that best communicates its architectural
significance. As the City continues to change and grow, these
images will become a valuable resource for residents, planners,
and scholars interested in the City's more compelling historic
structures.
