The Sarasota Architectural Foundation Mission:
To promote preservation and awareness of Sarasota's architecture and design, beginning with the Sarasota School of Architecture and beyond.

The Sarasota Architectural Foundation (SAF) is the outgrowth of "An American Legacy: The Sarasota School of Architecture Tour and Symposium," a five-day showcase of Sarasota County's unique mid-century modern architecture known as the Sarasota School of Architecture. Developed by members of the Fine Arts Society of Sarasota, Inc. (FASS), the 2001 Tour was attended by over 1,000 design professionals, scholars, and individuals from around the world, and comprised scholarly lectures, guided bus and boat tours, a documentary, exhibitions and social events. A core group of Tour organizers subsequently formed SAF to focus on the ongoing preservation and celebration of the Sarasota School structures, and the promotion of architectural excellence within the Sarasota community.
