The Modern Show is where the CF3 idea was born three years ago. The 2008 special exhibit: Cincinnati modern architecture - a retrospective was a great success.

As the Queen City's first group devoted to the awareness, education and preservation of modern design - CF3 Cincinnati Form Follows Function - presents this look back at some of the city's outstanding 20th century architectural treasures for our 2008 Special Exhibit.

From its world-class Art Deco Union Terminal train station to the many mid-century homes tucked into its seven hillsides, Cincinnati is blessed with a rich tradition of modern architectural design.  The CF3 curated exhibit included both images and artifacts.  The organization's efforts to document and preserve have included homes designed by such international stars as Frank Lloyd Wright and George Nelson as well as dwellings by homegrown favorites Abe Dombar, Woodie Garber, Ray Roush and Carl Strauss.
