Join
the Traditional Building Conference in New Haven, Connecticut on Tuesday
and Wednesday July 19 and 20, 2016 to revel in the rich architectural
legacy of the Connecticut coast, Yale University, and the original nine
squares of New Haven.
Our theme is Materials and Methods.
Educational Sessions are planned on traditional academic architecture,
adaptive reuse, masonry, residential construction techniques, and tours
of buildings on and around the Yale campus.
Our
venue is the celebrated New Haven Lawn Club (1931), an elegant colonial
revival style, brick building designed by New Haven architect Douglas W.
Orr (1892-1966). The building features art deco and moderne accents
that complement the traditional setting including a Lalique crystal
chandelier in the foyer.
Bring
your walking shoes. Attendees can explore the rich and varied
architectural heritage of downtown New Haven. The Lawn Club is adjacent
to Yale University so the conference will take full advantage of this
walkable setting.
