Kirsten Reoch

Wed, Sep 10    1pm

Please join the Historic Preservation program at GSAPP for a lecture by Kirsten Reoch, Executive Director of The Glass House, a site of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. She will speak about her career path in historic preservation and contemporary arts programming over the course of three decades in the field.

With experience ranging from local non-profit advocacy groups to nationally recognized restoration projects, Kirsten will describe how her path and mentors drew her to focus on sites where historic architecture intersects with the creative process of current visual and performing artists.

Prior to her leadership at The Glass House, Ms. Reoch served for over twenty-five years as Director of Capital Planning, Preservation, and Institutional Relations at the Park Avenue Armory in Manhattan—a City, State, and National Landmark. There, she directed the adaptive reuse, renovation, and preservation planning efforts, managing more than $165 million in design and construction projects in collaboration with firms such as Herzog & de Meuron and PBDW Architects. She also curated The Malkin Lecture Series at the Armory for eighteen years, presenting four lectures annually on topics related to the Armory’s history and the Gilded Age.

Ms. Reoch’s earlier roles include Senior Project Coordinator for The Walt Disney Company on the restoration of the New Amsterdam Theatre in Times Square and Project Associate for Tribeca Productions, where she was involved in planning film studios within historic industrial buildings in Brooklyn. She has also worked with a range of community-based preservation organizations, including Landmark West! and the DC Preservation League, and began her career at the Decatur House, a National Trust site in Washington, D.C.

The Preservation Lecture Series is organized by the MS in Historic Preservation program.
