Providence Preservation Society's 2016 Providence Symposium: WHY PRESERVE?
November 3-4, 2016 |
The 2016 Providence Symposium, Why Preserve?, will bring together experts from
across the nation as well as local stakeholders to examine why historic preservation
matters to all communities. To be held at the iconic but threatened Industrial Trust
Building, the Symposium will launch a year of community-based conversations around these foundational preservation questions: Why do we preserve? What do we preserve? Who decides what we preserve – that is, who are “we”? What are the costs of preservation? Who bears them? Featured in the program will be special
guests whose work has had monumental impact on countless cities, communities and historic buildings, including: Curtis G. Viebranz, President & CEO of Mount Vernon; Carl R. Nold, President & CEO of Historic New England; and Dr. Max Page, MS Design Program Director and Director of Historic Preservation Initiatives with the Department of Architecture at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, as well as author of the newly-published book, Why Preservation Matters.
