CF3 is a non-profit modern design forum whose mission is to promote, preserve, educate, document, enjoy, and raise awareness of Modern Design in and around Cincinnati. Through educational and social events as well as its website http://www.cf3.org, CF3 will bring together a modernist community to protect this design aesthetic.

Cincinnati has a rich architectural and design history including the Modern design period from the 1930s through 1970s. Modernism’s recent renaissance has lead diverse area groups such as students, professionals, enthusiasts and homeowners to look for resources. As a non-profit group, CF3 functions as a forum uniting these modernist minds to experience and preserve Cincinnati Modern design.

CF3 was founded by a group of like-minded Cincinnatians to:
• Increase awareness of modern design in Cincinnati.
• Save potentially “endangered” modern structures.
• Establish a digital and physical database of area modern homes, institutions, commercial buildings and entire communities.
• Create a forum for area modernists to exchange information and ideas via its website.
• Offer planned educational and social events (home tours, lectures, workshops, parties).

Join now!
CF3, now in its formative stages, welcomes architects, preservationists, educators, designers, dealers, collectors, curators, realtors, homeowners, students, building tradespeople and all Modern design enthusiasts to become members of the area’s first group devoted to the awareness, preservation and education of Modern design. If you have ideas you would like to share with the group, events you want to plan, or if you just want to see what CF3 is all about, please join.
