Focusing on the Future of Historic Preservation
"Directions in Twenty-First Century Preservation," March 29, 2014
Historic New England and Roger Williams University's School of Architecture, Art and Historic Preservation are pleased to announce that three nationally-noted preservation advocates will be speaking at "Directions in Twenty-First Century Preservation," a symposium to be held on March 29, 2014.
Joining preservation students and professionals from around the region at the Bay Point Inn and Conference Center on the Roger Williams University campus in Portsmouth, R.I., will be University of Virginia School of Architecture Professor Daniel Bluestone, director of the university's Historic Preservation program, Dr. Andréa Livi Smith, director of the Center for Historic Preservation at the University of Mary Washington, and heritage architect Julian Smith, Executive Director of Willowbank, a Canadian educational institution at the cutting edge of heritage conservation training. These distinguished preservation practitioners will speak on some of the larger challenges facing the field of historic preservation in the twenty-first century.
A regional perspective on opportunities and issues confronting New England preservation will be provided in presentations and commentary from area leaders and advocates, including Deputy State Historic Preservation Officers Michael Steinitz, of the Massachusetts Historical Commission, and Richard Greenwood, of the Rhode Island Historical Preservation and Heritage Commission.
Finally, the recent work of students and recent graduates of historic preservation and related programs will be showcased in poster and pecha-kucha sessions.
