Headed to Chicago…. February 26, 2009
Posted by history in : Uncategorized , add a commentSo I am stuck at the Savannah airport, waiting for my delayed flight to Chciago to attend the National Main Streets Conference. For those of you that might be at the conference and are thinking of going to school at SCAD please stop by our booth in the Exhibit Hall, I will be there and would love to meet you and talk about the program. Alums and friends are also welcome. Stop by and say hello. Also check back for blog updates on the goings on at the conference.
I am excited to visit my hometown, less excited about the cold weather. But enough about the weather, yesterday, Theo Prudon, the author of Preserving Modern Architecture came to speak. I was lucky enough to spend most of the day with Theo before his lecture. He came to my undergraduate preservation law class. Theo touched on a vareity of subjects, ranging from authenticity to his own path in preservation and the importance of social responsiblity in what we do. He also talked about some about the many challenges associated with the preservation of Modern architecture and the differences between the US and other countries. One of the particular challenges that we face is the antiregulatory enviroment. Whereas many Europeans are used to a certain amount of regulation, we as American’s are not. He gave the example of his childhoold homes in the Netherlands. It was built between two existing structures in the 18th century (or maybe it was the 17th) the beams are supported by the walls of those structures so his neighbors can’t tear down their houses, lest his be lost too. I could spend a significant amount of time blogging about the many challenges of Preserving the Recent past (heck I wrote a book on it) but the regulatory aspect presents a whole array of challenges. The first is that many of these resources are not yet old enough to be locally designated and we all know that it is at the local level that preservation occurs. The other issue is lack of appreication and then finally, the extent of the regulations that we can impose. Generally speaking interiors are not designated, due to an array of constitutional issues (take HIPR 313/703 to find out more!) but when it comes to Modern buildings, the interior is often visible from the interior. As Theo pointed out with the Farnsworth House, what is the point of designated the exterior if you can’t protect the interior. The interior is the exterior. Transparency will be huge issue in the coming years. There is little doubt that these are interesting times for HP. I think they are also very exciting times. Speaking of which, we just added a new class on Preserving the Recent Past, it will be offered as both a graduate and undergraduate class and it might be available as early as fall 2009 in LaCoste. Stay tuned.
Preserving Modern Architecture! Theo Prudon Lecture 2/25/09 February 23, 2009
Posted by history in : Uncategorized , add a commentTheo Prudon, the President of DOCOMOMO US and the author of Preserving Modern Architecture will be speaking at the River Club on Wednesday, Feburary 25th at 7:30 PM. This should be a great lecture, Mr. Prudon has worked all over and on many iconic buildings of the Modern Movement. The River Club is located at 3 Martin Luther King Blvd.
Below is pasted an interview with Mr. Prudon from AIA Architect Newsletter.
AIARCHITECT | VOLUME 15 THE NEWS OF AMERICA’S COMMUNITY OF ARCHITECTS MARCH 7, 2008
Theodore H.M. Prudon, PhD, FAIA
by Heather Livingston, Contributing Editor
Summary: Theo Prudon is a Dutch-born architect and principal of Prudon & Partners, a firm specializing in restoration. As the founding president of DoCoMoMo/US (The Documentation and Conservation of Buildings, Sites, and Neighborhoods of the Modern Movement), Prudon leads the U.S. chapter of the international organization dedicated to preserving Modernist structures. Prudon also is a DoCoMoMo International board member and an adjunct associate professor of historic preservation at Columbia University.
Education: I have a master’s degree in architecture from the Delft University of Technology in Holland, a master’s of science in architecture from Columbia University, and a PhD in architecture from Columbia.
Interest in preservation of Modern structures: I went through the preservation program at Columbia and have been teaching in the program for 30-some years. I was always trained as a Modern architect, and, over time, the two interests combined, looking at more contemporary architecture. I also am the president of an organization called DoCoMoMo/US, which is a part of an international organization that has representation in 54 countries and was founded in the Netherlands, which is where I was born and educated.
The public and Modernism: I think that over the last decade there’s been a significant shift to recognition that heritage over a more recent period is important. In general terms,
I think the larger public still has some qualms about appreciating how significant it is. In the architecture community an appreciation of this heritage is pretty clear, but in the larger general community there are still cases where people ask: Why is this historic? Or why is it beautiful? But I think that there’s no question that attitudes have significantly changed.
DoCoMoMo membership: DoCoMoMo has probably about 400-500 members. What’s great about DoCoMoMo is that it’s a mixture of architects, general public, and the academic community. I think on that it’s unique as compared to some other preservation organizations.
DoCoMoMo’s challenges: The particular challenges are fourfold:
1. Buildings designed for a very narrowly defined program become easily obsolete or, in other words, quickly do not seem to fit the purpose any longer, whether in reality or in perception. This has always been an issue, but with ever-more specificity also comes an ever-greater chance of not fitting. This will require the architect or designer to be more creative in finding appropriate or unique solutions that allow the building to function as a viable structure. Viollet-le-Duc already emphasized that. What is “appropriate” is something that can be a source of considerable discussion.
2. Another aspect is the ever-greater temporality of buildings both physically and perceptually. The likelihood that significant replacements will occur is great, leaving us little of the first or original material. It is that concept of the original that has been core to preservation theory since the 19th Century and is what has made the building “authentic.” Reconciling this earlier concept of authenticity with the reality of economic and physical turnover is what will be a challenge to remain true to the spirit and physicality of the building.
3. The sheer volume of Modern buildings that are approaching the 50-year mark-which already concerns us and will only become larger-will force us to choose wisely. Not just on the basis of last minute threats, but on what is best in all aspects of what preservation is worthwhile.
4. The general public needs to be convinced that this is important, and not only to architects and a few cognoscenti.
The greatest Modernist loss: I think what lots of people have begun to focus on is the loss and potential loss of post-WWII single-family residences that are in prime locations and are, in contemporary terms, not large enough or comfortable enough for whatever reasons. We’ve lost many of them, and it’s only now, slowly, beginning to turn a little bit. The people in the real-estate community are beginning to market these buildings as unique; more as artifacts than as significant buildings. I think a fair amount was lost 10 to 15 years ago.
AIA and DoCoMoMo: The affiliations are first, in the Historic Resources Committee (HRC) and secondly, mostly through the local membership. On a national level, there are no formal relationships, but I think that there are a number of prominent and senior
members with the AIA community who are members of us and are also active on our board. Because we are a national organization that’s organized in chapters across the country, a lot of the cooperation between the AIA and DoCoMoMo takes place on that level.
Architects’ responsibility in preserving Modern architecture: Firstly, architects should talk to more people and explain to them why the buildings are important. Secondly, where they are charged with the responsibility of working on such a building, they should be very conscious as to the unique requirements of such a building and also explain that clearly to the surrounding communities and their clients. The situation that we always run into is people telling us that buildings are obsolete. It’s a scale issue. If you are preserving a two-story brick house in Virginia from 1755, the pressures on it are different than if you’re talking about a 20-story building in a downtown location that is a significant architectural piece of work. So, the acceptance of the 18th century building, both because of its rarity and because of its small scale, is a lot easier than a building that is much taller or bigger. Yes, the programmatic requirements have changed, but they will always change, so therefore the creative interpretation of that becomes much more significant.
Thirdly is the durability issue. I think some of that can be resolved technically and should not be a reason to reject a building out of hand. Changes do take place. I think that for us, we have a tendency to focus on something and say: “Look, we can’t use it anymore.” But the reality is that what we think is significant today or the program that we want today will be very different five years from now. The changes are very rapid, and so we’ve got to be very conservative, modest maybe in how we approach these things.
Structures at risk presently: There are a lot of them. I would hate to single one out. There is the Boston City Hall on the one hand. There is the Neutra building in Gettysburg [the Cyclorama] on the other hand. There’s Riverview High School in Florida, which is a Rudolph building. It’s on all levels and in all building types.
Reading material: I have just finished the galleys of my own book. The book is called Preservation of Modern Architecture. It deals very much with the subject and is being published by John Wiley in April of this year. I just finished the galleys, and so now I can read the work of others again.
What I’m reading now is by Bill Addis and it’s called Building: 3,000 Years of Design, Engineering and Construction. It’s probably three inches thick, but it’s interesting. It’s written by a UK engineer and has interesting analysis of building over the last century. What’s interesting about it-which is something I always feel is missing in the teaching of preservation-is that it looks at the actual building process. We talk about the aesthetics and we talk about whether or not it’s a particular style, but what’s interesting is the whole building process-particularly for Modern architecture, since that process has so significantly changed since the middle part of the 19th century as a result of the Industrial Revolution.
Thank you,

Calling All Compliance Geeks (and HP Law Students) February 19, 2009
Posted by history in : Uncategorized , add a commentI know you are out there. This came to me from Kim Kooles at the NAPC:
“As of today, you’ll notice on the HUD Office of Environment and Energy website (http://www.hud.gov/offices/cpd/environment/index.cfm), under “What’s New”, that there is a new entry for the Section 106 Agreements Database. Click here for the direct link.
The Section 106 Agreements Database is a collection of HUD-related Memoranda of Agreement (MOA) and Programmatic Agreements (PA) from across the country, mostly from 2001 to present. The main purpose of this database is to provide users with a way to find agreements that may serve as models or samples for current projects that require a MOA or PA for compliance purposes. The intent is to facilitate the drafting of new Section 106 agreements. Users can also search the database and obtain a copy for their records. Simply click on one or more of the states below and search the agreements from that state.
Please note that it is NOT a comprehensive database. It is based only on information acquired from the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation and from HUD Environmental Field staff.”
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know that you might not be jumping for joy, but I am finding good models of good documentation can be a challenge. Having read more than my fair share of bad documents, I am excited to have a source, even if it isn’t comprehensive to go trolling around looking for MOA’s and PA’s, which I suppose is a little like hunting for truffles but not as tasty nor are swine required. I know what I am doing this weekend.
HUD wants to continue adding MOAs and PAs as they are gathered. Please continue to send in any recent MOAs and PAs for inclusion, and feel free to provide feedback to ATEC@hud.gov. They plan to update the database regularly and will work to make it more search friendly in the near future.

Historic Preservation is Worth A Latte? Eh, not so much. February 16, 2009
Posted by history in : Uncategorized , add a commentSo the price tag on the HP component to the stimulus bill was $55 million. What is $55 million between friends? Apparently a lot, HP was eliminated by in the stimulus package. Sigh. You can read all the gory details here. Yeah, $55 million seems like a lot and it is, but when you break it down by the 183 million tax payers in the US (based on 2007 rates). It amounts to about $3.27 per person, which is about the same as one small latte per tax paying citizen, each year. I don’t know about you, but I think HP is worth a latte.
Sadly our elected officals don’t feel the same way.

Subscription information ************************************************************************ National Register news The Lawton Place, located in Mount Airy, Habersham County, was listed in the National Register on January 8, 2009. During Reconstruction in the 1870s, railroad companies began speculating in real estate as a way to raise revenue for the railroads. A consortium of Northern railroad investors who envisioned “a delightful summer resort” established Mount Airy in northeast Georgia along the Atlanta and Richmond Railroad line in 1872. General Alexander Robert Lawton of Savannah was an early investor in Mount Airy. The Railroad Avenue lot where Lawton built his home was one of numerous parcels he purchased there. Following Lawton’s death in 1896, the house passed to a succession of owners. By 1925 it served as rental property. Its most famous tenant was baseball legend Ty Cobb who rented the house in the late 1950s when his own house was under construction. The house is a variant of the Georgian-plan house type adapted for use in a north Georgia resort community. Georgian-plan houses were built throughout the state from the 18th century to the early 20th century. The Demorest Woman’s Club, located in Demorest, Habersham County, was listed in the National Register on December 30, 2008. The Demorest Woman’s Club was founded in 1934 by a group of eleven women who first met in members’ homes. Later that year the club was officially federated and 51 additional members joined. In 1954 the club purchased the Demorest Methodist Church building from its trustees for one dollar, and immediately began renovations to the building. The Men’s Civic Club had previously refused to accept the building, because they thought it was too dilapidated, but the women persevered and managed to adapt the building to their needs. Constructed in 1902 for the Methodist Episcopal Church, the building was significantly altered after acquisition by the Demorest Woman’s Club in 1954, and therefore the significance of the property relates to its later use. The Kidd-Robertson House, located in Troup County, was listed in the National Register on December 30, 2008. George Kidd (1796-1871), a prosperous farmer and large landowner in Troup County constructed the Kidd-Robertson House circa 1843. The 1840 U.S. Census indicates that George Kidd, his wife Elizabeth Todd Kidd, their eight children, Elizabeth’s brother John Todd and 20 slaves lived on the property. By 1860, George Kidd owned 1,700 acres of land and 42 slaves. In addition to his farmland, he owned the Kidd Cotton Gin Factory and a grocery and mercantile business. After his death in 1871, his daughter, America Kidd Robertson, inherited the house. The house was sold out of the family in 1911. The Kidd-Robertson House is significant in the area of architecture as a good example of a 1840s Greek Revival-style Georgian cottage.

From archaeological sites to iconic architecture, cultural landscapes to historic city centers, the Watch identifies places of significance in need of timely action. Every two years, World Monuments Fund (WMF) accepts new nominations to the Watch, from which 100 are selected for listing. Watch listing provides an opportunity for sites and their nominators to raise public awareness, foster local participation, advance innovation and collaboration, and demonstrate effective solutions. The Watch nomination process also serves as a vehicle for requesting WMF assistance for select projects. More than 500 sites from over 110 countries have benefited from the seven cycles of the Watch; nearly half of these have received WMF grants, totaling $50 million. Deadline for nominations is March 15, 2009. Additional information about the 2010 World Monuments Watch and downloadable PDFs of the Guidelines and Nomination Forms are available at http://www.wmf.org/watch.html. Questions or concerns about the nomination or electronic submission process should be directed to watch@wmf.org. ************************************************************************ Georgia Trust is accepting scholarship applications The Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation is now accepting entries for the J.
