AIA24 HRC Luncheon
EV215 | June 6 | 12– 2pm | The Marriott Marquis Washington, DC | Cost: $115
The monumental core of Washington, DC is a rich tapestry and cultural landscape of iconic museums, memorials, and public spaces that belong to and are enjoyed by visitors and local residents year round. What does it take for the owners of these precious public resources to be stewards of these significant places? Join the AIA Historic Resources Committee (HRC) for a lively conversation about stewardship in the monumental core of Washington, DC with some of the leading professional charged with their operation and stewardship. The complex work must take into account a host of considerations including technical challenges, accessibility, resiliency, sustainability, security, new and infill construction, evolving program needs, social equity, landscapes, infrastructure, funding, inter-agency coordination, and planning. Participants will learn how these institutions promote the long view and ensure preservation is balanced with meeting contemporary needs to maintain vitality and relevance. The program will include a short presentation by moderator Thomas Jester, FAIA, FAPT, of Quinn Evans to frame the topic and will be followed by a panel discussion with representatives from the National Gallery of Art, the National Park Service, Smithsonian Institution, and DC Historic Preservation Office.
