Historic Preservation Theory & Practice

This lecture course is an introduction to historic preservation theory and practice, as it developed in the West, from the Enlightenment to the present moment of globalization. We focus especially on how preservation theories and experimental practices helped to redefine and advance new conceptions of architecture, cities and landscapes. We will focus on understanding the relationship between historic preservation and the social, political and economic context in which it acquired currency and value. Finally, we will ask questions about how theory and practice relate to one another, and how a solid grasp of the discipline’s history can help us articulate new ways of thinking and doing historic preservation.
