UKUK College of Design:  2019 Historic Preservation Symposium
2019 Historic Preservation Symposium
Beyond the Greenest Building: Historic Preservation and Sustainability
Friday, March 29 | 9am - 3pm
UK Athletics Association Auditorium | W.T. Young Library
The reuse and repurposing of existing buildings, infrastructure, and urban fabric has long been seen as a best practice in sustainability, and it remains a defining characteristic of historic preservation practice. What is less often recognized however, even by preservationists, is that the goals of the modern historic preservation movement speak directly to many other aspects of sustainability, and that preservationists may play a role in mitigating some of the consequences of generations of unsustainable practices. This year's historic preservation symposium will re-imagine the scope of the relationship between historic preservation and sustainability, and will draw attention to the contributions of preservationists to a variety of sustainability efforts that include improving community health, the maintenance of cultural traditions, and improving community resilience.
