Debate: Abstraction in Experimental Preservation

Monday, March 30, 2009, 6:30 pm -8:30 pm Wood Auditorium, Avery Hall Preservation is customarily bound to the literalness of buildings. Long considered a taboo, new experiments in abstraction are pushing the limits of preservation practice, and raising new questions about the nature of creativity. This panel will explore abstraction through the preservation of sound and smell. Moderated by Jorge Otero-Pailos, GSAPP Organized in collaboration with the Historic Preservation Program, GSAPP http://www.arch.columbia.edu/
