When Malcolm Holzman, FAIA, served as Chair of the AIA National Design Awards Jury, he posed a provocative question: Do preservation projects truly demonstrate architectural design at the highest level? This program takes up that challenge.
Drawing from decades of practice, Bob Loversidge, FAIA will unpack the core principles that define preservation as a rigorous design discipline. Attendees will learn how preservation architects evaluate existing buildings, navigate design review and code requirements, integrate contemporary systems and technologies into historic structures, and craft design interventions that extend the life and relevance of cultural resources. Through case studies and practical frameworks, this session reframes preservation as a forward‑looking design practice that shapes the future of our built heritage.
