The AIA Historic Resources Committee is pleased to once again host our annual Knowledge Community Luncheon. Join us to network with your fellow preservation architects, get an update on what HRC is doing in 2024 and take away lessons for your practice while enjoying food and stimulating conversation!
This year, our topic for discussion will be Stewardship in the Monumental Core of Washington, D.C.
The monumental core of Washington, D.C. is a rich tapestry and cultural landscape of iconic museums, memorials, and public spaces that belong to and are enjoyed by visitors and residents year-round. What does it take for the owners of these precious public resources to be stewards of these significant places?
Join us for a lively conversation with some of the leading professionals charged with the operation and stewardship of the monumental core of Washington, D.C. 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. It will be followed by a panel discussion with representatives from the National Gallery of Art, the National Park Service, the Smithsonian Institution, and the D.C. Historic Preservation office.
