Preservation in Asian Cities Tuesday, December 3, 2013, 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM As Asia’s cities aspire to become global metropolises and the region’s rampant construction boom continues in full swing, old structures must be torn down to make room for new modern buildings that represent local desires. What does this mean for preservation in Asia? Architects, planners, public officials, and academics will discuss what can be done to protect and preserve the architectural heritage of Asian Cities in the face of rapid economic development in the area. Speakers: Calvin Tsao, FAIA, Principal, Tsao & McKown Architects Jordan Sand, Associate Professor of Japanese History, Department of History, Georgetown University Qin Shao, Professor of History, The College of New Jersey Ben Wood, AIA, Principal, Studio Shanghai (via Skype) Moderator: John Arbuckle, Assoc. AIA, President, DOCOMOMO New York/Tri-State Organized by: Center for Architecture Co-Sponsored by: AIANY Historic Buildings Committee Price: Free for AIA members; $10 for non-members RSVP This program is related to the exhibition Practical Utopias: Global Urbanism in Hong Kong, Seoul, Shanghai, Singapore, and Tokyo, on view from October 1, 2013 to January 18, 2014.
