Changing Standards in Historic Preservation

This course examines what we seek to preserve and why. We will begin with a history of historic preservation in Europe and the United States, from the early 19th century to present day. What, at different times, have we deemed worthy of preservation? Then, we will explore the ever-changing standards for interventions in historic districts and additions to historic buildings and conclude with a discussion of the preservation of modern buildings. We also will examine historic preservation around the world. This course may be used to fulfill the requirements of the Certificate in Historic Preservation Studies. AIA CES approved, 25 LUs.  

This course is delivered in an online, live-instruction (synchronous) format. Teaching and learning occur in real time using chat and video conferencing to create an interactive virtual classroom.
