Thomas Luebke, Secretary of the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts, and Kay Fanning, architectural historian, will share insights from their book, American Shrines: The Architecture of Presidential Commemoration. The book examines the history of presidential memorialization through architecture, landscape, sculpture, and art, exploring how these memorials express civic ideals and the nation’s collective memory within the public realm.

This program is part of the 2026 Biennial Symposium of the Latrobe Chapter of the Society of Architectural Historians, Washington, D.C. Hosted by The Catholic University of America School of Architecture and Allied Arts and the National Building Museum.
