APTNE Symposium: Disasters and How We Overcome Them

  • 1.  APTNE Symposium: Disasters and How We Overcome Them

    Join our sister chapter, APTNE, for their 2021 Annual Symposium, Disasters and How We Overcome Them
    Friday, February 26, 2021


    Disasters come in various forms, whether they be a natural disaster, a man-made disaster, or a disastrous situation.  In preservation, we deal with each of these disasters, whether it be from planning to prevent them, investigating the aftermath, or in overcoming them and coming out better than before.  Each situation is defined in how we approach the disaster and each of us are judged in how we react.  In a time that is currently fraught with various global disasters, each of us is challenged to move above and beyond, bringing our history and our buildings with us.


    Industry professionals, artisans, students, and professors will present topics ranging from planning for seismic disasters to protecting our cultural heritage from fire and from adapting for flooding to graffiti. 

    Keynote Speaker: Donald Friedman, President, Old Structures Engineering, PC.
    Round Table Leader: Pascale Sablan, FAIA, NOMA, LEED AP, Associate at Adjaye Associates
