Taliesin: Preservation Process and Achievement
February 2, 2017 |
During the last two decades work at Taliesin has progressed steadily as its preservation team has completed projects ranging from the augmentation of foundations and the replacement of mechanical systems to the restoration of interpreted spaces and the conservation of historic objects.
John Waters, AIA, a consultant to Taliesin Preservation, Preservation Programs Manager at the Frank Lloyd Wright Building Conservancy, and co-director of the Victorian Society in America Chicago Summer School, will present an overview of work at Taliesin and discuss the preservation team’s approach. In particular, the team seeks to learn from the buildings at Taliesin themselves and follow the cues they give in their development of solutions to meet preservation goals in the unique environment created by Wright’s at his Wisconsin home and studio.
This talk, which begins at 6:00pm, will include a short presentation on the VSA’s Summer School programs located in London, Newport, and Chicago.
