“Barry Farm-Hillsdale: Reimagining Preservation for a Just Future”

This talk is about the fight to preserve a public housing project in Washington, DC, its local listing as a DC landmark, and subsequent (and ongoing) efforts to commemorate its history while also envisioning a new version of preservation that puts people first. Major themes include architectural integrity, cultural landscape theory, student and community engagement in the visioning process, and the production of a documentary film.

All talks are in-person unless otherwise indicated.
