Abstract:Architectural preservation has been a participatory activity all along. This is because of the universal and perpetual need for maintaining and repairing older structures. The commonsense of repairing, when possible, rather than replacing anew has instinctive appeal. It almost always means a savings of time, materials and money. Successful ingredients for translating preservation theory and intentions into practice involves commitment, imagination, resources, and planning and organizational skills.Over the past three decades, especially, evolving architectural preservation technologies and methods have considerably expanded our capacity to conserve the built environment. Traditional methods of building preservation such as hand drawn recordation of structures, clipboard surveys, and print photography have largely been replaced by digital documentation, geo-referenced data bases and “smarter” displays of information. A plethora of affordable new tools for scientific materials analysis and testing, both in the laboratory and in the field, are increasingly available. Radically improved data management capabilities, communications systems, plus contributions to the field from the allied professions of engineering, archaeology, museology, public history and education have significantly enhanced architectural preservation practice. Today, the preservation field’s purview and technical capabilities are robust to the point where in some places there is nearly an over-abundance of abilities to preserve the built environment. Applying these abilities remains the challenge.Renovating buildings traces back to earliest civilizations across the world. Untold tens of millions of structures have been rehabilitated in the past century alone. Many were carefully restored and respectfully rehabilitated noted historic xxiv structures. The majority, however, have been renovations and expansions of more ordinary structures. Still, such interventions involve some degree of preservation-thinking. Additionally, if one considers that maintenance is an act of building protection, then architectural preservation must represent well over half of the world’s residential and commercial building industry.In time, naturally, most all prior restoration and rehabilitation interventions themselves need re-doing. As a result, today’s preservationists are increasingly involved with “re-restoring” buildings and, in relation to that, “re-researching” and “reinterpreting” them as well. Such operations could be termed reapplied preservation.

Abstract:The rise of digital technologies in heritage-related fieldwork offers new potentials and new challenges for digital preservation, research, and scholarship. Potentials include speed, accuracy, and new opportunities for visualization, while challenges include mastering the necessary technological expertise to collect data, finding and funding the experts in technologies that support the collecting and use of data, creating appropriate protocols for the archiving of data, and discovering value for research and scholarship using this data. The goal for digital preservation of “making the invisible visible” aids in strategizing and planning the application and experimentation of digital technologies in heritage study. Asking what we can see anew, what new stories we can tell, with data generated by these technologies can help keep their application moderated and purposeful. This article presents field study examples that take an analytical and interpretive approach, using the data collected with digital technologies to help make the invisible visible. Themes include nondominant narratives, practicing a cultural landscapes approach, imagining lived experience, and communication and presentation of digital heritage data.

Abstract:The built environment in US cities displays uneven geographies and patterns of spatial exclusion. Preservation, as a profession that cares for places and communities should help to redress these inequities. Likewise, socially engaged art and creative practices can act as catalysts for transformative change. This article describes three community engaged courses in which students drew connections between concepts of equitable preservation, socially engaged art, and the just city. The Equity Preservation Workshop focused on creating a toolkit of policies for preservation alliances with community development. In Just Places? Community Preservation, Art and Equity, students investigated how the arts can ignite historical consciousness and employ creative practices that repair, adapt, and preserve places. Art, Preservation, and the Just City generated ideas for creatively engaging youth with place, identities, and the built environment. Students conducted research with preservation organizations including the National Trust for Historic Preserva tion and Preservation Buffalo Niagara; a creative-placemaking program of Enterprise Community Partners; and Assembly House 150, a nonprofit in Buffalo that transforms lives and the built environment through art, design, and construction. This article describes these field investigations into the layers of intersection, interaction, and possibility between preservation, art, and social equity.
摘要:美国城市建成环境呈现出不均匀的地理分布和空间排他性格局。保护作为一种关心地方和社区的职业，应该有助于纠正这些不平等现象。同样，社会参与的艺术和创造性实践可以成为变革的催化剂。这篇文章描述了三个社区参与课程，学生们在这些课程中建立了公平保护、社会参与艺术和正义城市概念之间的联系。公平保护讲习班的重点是为保护与社区发展相结合制定一套政策工具包。在公正的地方?社区保护、艺术与公平，学生们研究了艺术如何点燃历史意识，并采用创造性的实践来修复、适应和保护地方。艺术、保护和公正的城市产生了创造性地吸引年轻人参与地方、身份和建筑环境的想法。学生们与保护组织进行了研究，包括国家历史保护信托基金会和保护布法罗尼亚加拉;企业社区合作伙伴(Enterprise Community Partners)的创意场所建设项目;Assembly House 150是布法罗的一家非营利组织，通过艺术、设计和施工来改变生活和建筑环境。本文描述了这些实地调查，探讨了保护、艺术和社会公平之间的交叉、互动和可能性。

Abstract:In the fall of 2016, a mixed-major cadre of students in an historic preservation class at Iowa State University traveled to London for ten days to participate in fieldwork at the soon-to-bevacated United States chancery at Grosvenor Square, Eero Saarinen’s modernist 1960 landmark. While the focus of the class was the tools and techniques for preservation documentation, the students’ perspective on their assignment quickly evolved, and the final project that emerged at the end of the semester reflected an experience that was broader, and far richer, than originally anticipated. While Saarinen’s chancery remained the focus of student activities, more revealing than the building itself was its changing urban context, as the American government prepared to vacate its long-standing home for a new chancery in a developing neighborhood south of the Thames. The students’ experiences and their class project suggest a potent form that preservation fieldwork might take in the future. This involves a shift from the study of the architectural landmark in isolation to a more holistic perspective that includes the broader neighborhood and its economic and demographic flows. In this particular case, the historic chancery’s capacity to anchor an “ethnic” neighborhood, the so-called Little America of Grosvenor Square, which had long been waning, became an opportunity for students to explore new ways of preservation and commemoration in a rapidly changing city.
摘要:2016年秋天，爱荷华州立大学(Iowa State University)历史保护班的一群混合专业的学生干部前往伦敦，在格罗夫纳广场(Grosvenor Square)即将废弃的美国大法官办公室进行了为期十天的实地考察。格罗夫纳广场是埃罗·沙里宁(Eero Saarinen)于1960年设计的现代主义地标。虽然课程的重点是保存文献的工具和技术，但学生们对作业的看法很快发生了变化，学期结束时出现的期末项目反映了比最初预期更广泛、更丰富的经历。虽然沙里宁的办公室仍然是学生活动的焦点，但比建筑本身更能说明问题的是它不断变化的城市环境，因为美国政府准备腾出它长期以来的住所，在泰晤士河以南的一个发展中社区建立一个新的办公室。学生们的经历和他们的课堂项目表明，保护实地工作可能在未来采取一种强有力的形式。这涉及到从孤立的建筑地标研究转向更全面的视角，包括更广泛的社区及其经济和人口流动。在这个特殊的案例中，历史悠久的大法官办公室巩固一个“民族”社区的能力，即所谓的格罗夫纳广场的小美国，长期以来一直在衰落，这成为学生们在一个快速变化的城市中探索保护和纪念新方法的机会。

Abstract:In 2015, the independent businesses housed in the railway arches of Brixton Station were served eviction notices and forced to abandon their livelihoods so their spaces could be refurbished. In response, we set out to map the history of their inhabitants; but what we discovered was that the market in the Brixton Arches has existed largely within an official void. None of its history centrally stored or preserved, nor has it been consistently documented by Lambeth Council or the local archives; there is not even an exhaustive list of businesses registered to the arches over the last 150 years. This article explores the role that preservation politics plays in (re)shaping collective memory and public consciousness, and critiques how heritage politics, the production of memory and preservation practices are dominated by a particular philosophical understanding of memory and history as monolithic, stable and definable. Drawing on the work of scholars from minoritized communities, we propose that it is necessary to push back against normative frameworks, and instead begin from the complexities of difference. Through the concept of co-constitution we propose a framework for creating and preserving spaces that encompass the multiplicity of perspectives, identities, and subjectivities of their inhabitants.

Abstract:Fieldwork in heritage conservation research and teaching encompasses a broad array of activities, from architectural surveys and materials conservation to stakeholder workshops and digital mapping. It is the translational space where research questions and desired impact, value systems, and interpretations are generated. It is the space and moment of interaction, reflection, and analysis among practitioners, scholars, communities, and stakeholders. Fieldwork integrated into the wider process of conservation practice and has changed from a way to collect data and codify significance to the medium to facilitate impact and value for heritage resources. It now provides impact beyond the traditional divide of basic and applied research in the academy. Fieldwork in heritage conservation is now rooted in praxis.This article argues that in the twenty-first century, fieldwork must fulfill that role of collaboratively bringing capacity to heritage stakeholders by adopting an applied research and outreach agenda. It is only through these means that heritage conservation remains relevant.

Abstract:Fieldwork has been and will continue to be a foundational component in preservation education. It is the means in which preservationists’ study and document a historic resource. Documentation and communication of fieldwork findings are foremost in preservation practice, specifically in the form of historic structures reports, cultural surveys, and most notably in historic preservation architecture—design guidelines. Unlike new design, preservation sets parameters for “appropriateness” in design, which is based on a collected and articulated set of values proposed by a community and compiled by preservation professionals. Although previous design guidelines have been produced as a “one size fits all” document, sadly, this approach fails to note the qualitative aspect prevalent in every historic district. Moreover, design guidelines often do not address theoretical ideas, which have been discussed in academic scholarship. Last, students rarely learn how to use design guidelines in designing within a historic place. This often leads to incongruent and inappropriate design solutions. This article explains how fieldwork was used in a graduate architecture design studio in developing first, a set of design guidelines for Midwestern towns, and, second, how students used these guidelines in developing solutions that met the Secretary of Interior’s Standards for Historic Preservation.

Abstract:Similar to many inner-city neighborhoods in industrial towns of the American Midwest, Milwaukee’s Northside neighborhoods experienced rapid deterioration after the Second World War. Racial segregation and unjust policies negatively impacted poor African American neighborhoods. Interested in documenting history from the point of view of marginalized residents, we engaged community members in data collection and analysis adapting method from collaborative ethnography. Our empirical field research brought researchers in close contact with residents, exposing the former to contradictions produced by expert and lay perceptions of value and significance. Community residents taught us that mere analysis of the buildings from period one—that is the period it was built—offers an incomplete picture. When we adopted ethnographic methods to examine the physical world from the perspective of African American residents, we discovered that a long history of grassroots resistance against inequitable urban policies produced two overlooked sets of heritage sites—the first, retrofitted vernacular buildings and the second, repurposed spaces in-between buildings. Our fieldwork not only offered us a different understanding of heritage in the built environment, but this experience transformed us into advocates of marginalized histories of neglected places.

Abstract:In historic preservation research and practice, accurate documentation in the field is a priority for proper record of historic elements, particularly in the case of using this documentation to inform replication of building components. The integration of photogrammetry for purposes of documentation is becoming increasingly useful as it provides more accurate, cost-effective and considerably less equipment than other means. As such, this project pioneered a novel integration of technology with preservation education, research and practice through the replication of (eight) grotesque statues adorning an historic façade on the University of Kansas (KU) campus. The team included a pair of architects and two sibling stone carvers of Lawrence, Kansas, in addition to students from a variety of backgrounds. Students from three disciplines—KU Architecture, Sculpture, and Museum Studies programs—enrolled in coursework involving the project and participated in the collaborative workflow from documentation to 3D printing and final stone carving. Although the collaboration between architects and sculptors paralleled that in the historic construction of the building, it involved new technologies in the education of preservation architects and sculptors, thus transitioning the next generation of apprentices to technologies that may assist with preservation efforts for a wide variety of building elements, in many cases involving organic forms and complex interdisciplinary workflows.

Although the collaboration between architects and sculptors paralleled that in the historic construction of the building, it involved new technologies in the education of preservation architects and sculptors, thus transitioning the next generation of apprentices to technologies that may assist with preservation efforts for a wide variety of building elements, in many cases involving organic forms and complex interdisciplinary workflows.","PeriodicalId":53609,"journal":{"name":"Future Anterior","volume":"28 1","pages":"60 - 72"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2021-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88783879","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Abstract:The Notre-Dame disaster caused a worldwide emotional response, fueled by social networks and the media; it also generated a sudden and considerable public generosity. In response, the French government has devised a specific law, one in favor of an unprecedented modernization for restoring heritage, combined with a task force under the supervision of a retired army general. Subsequently, the uncertainties of its conservation, or of a future creation of a spire, seemed to sanction the bankruptcy of the ancient intelligence of the monument. If romantic imagery, more or less anecdotal, has been repeated here and there, and if the scholarly memory of a Christian and national cathedral has been exploited by media, the ecological traumas—the evocation of a disappeared forest with the framework and the lead pollution around it—seem to have prevailed in the public imagination. The challenge today is to go beyond a communion in the drama of a loss in order to identify heritage, its uses, and its change in a future society.
