In three days you can explore every aspect of the region’s rich design legacy from skyscrapers to theaters, public and commercial buildings, to the wide array of residential homes; from Arts & Crafts, Colonial, Craftsman, Greek Revival, Prairie School to Modernist. Learn how well coordinated project teams of architects, developers, planners, building owners, and artisans utilize both high technology and centuries-old craftsmanship to maintain, restore and rehabilitate historic structures.
Find out how new construction, too, is reinterpreting older forms and styles. Experience how skillful designers are creating the new old house and adding artful, sympathetic additions to landmark structures. Or how new affordable housing can be created to mesh with the vernacular styles of earlier eras. Spend three days exploring how the impact of responsible preservation helps local, national and global economies in these challenging times. Understand why inherently "green" qualities of urban planning are a critical factor in our work today and in the future.
