Join us in historic Winterthur for a two-day interactive symposium where you will learn from best-in-class experts and practitioners about historic preservation; adaptive use, urban infill, classical design, sustainable design, building restoration/maintenance, and traditional craft. Network with your industry peers, clients and the technical representatives from restoration/renovation product suppliers.
Nestled in the heart of Delaware’s beautiful Brandywine Valley, the Winterthur Museum, Garden & Library offers an exhibition of traditional building techniques. This historic venue offers the detail and design of a grand residence with the scale of a sprawling commercial project. Winterthur is set amid a 1,000-acre preserve of rolling meadows and woodlands and was designed by H.F. du Pont.
