SUMMARY:Closing the Gap: Increasing Diversity in Library Collections
DESCRIPTION:The current holdings in most libraries\, including Avery Library\, support and sustain a white-centered narrative. Avery Library has requested our assistance with highlighting the gaps and with exploring ways to increase the diversity of collections. On October 25th\, PA will host an open forum to discuss what PA members see as diversity\, equity\, and inclusion issues related to archival research at institutions like Avery. Together we will develop ideas for how Avery can broaden the collection and how PA members might assist in this endeavor. \nYou do not have to be familiar with Avery’s holdings to participate! We all have something to contribute to the effort to create a more diverse and inclusive range of historic preservation research resources. \nThe PA community has a real opportunity to influence the outcome. \nPlease join us on October 25 for this important discussion!\nRegister here today! (and rewatch past Pushing Perspectives discussions here)

SUMMARY:Pushing Perspectives: Confronting Biases in Historic Building Materials Research
DESCRIPTION:Click here to register.\nJoin us for our next Pushing Perspectives virtual conversation as we critically consider the preservation professional’s role in the creation of a more inclusive approach to historic materials research and in discussions about what is valued. Our panelists bring a variety of perspectives to this discussion about issues of exclusion in historic materials research and the challenges of doing ethical research. They include: \n \nFor over twenty years\, Hannah Bennett has served in a number of different capacities in art and architecture research libraries beginning with the Ryerson & Burnham Libraries at The Art Institute of Chicago through her recent appointment as Director of the Avery Architectural and Fine Arts Library in October 2019. As Avery’s Director\,  Hannah is committed to reinforcing Avery’s incomparable strengths while forging new directions for its collections and services. Much in the last two years has necessitated new approaches to design\, research\, and documentary methodologies\, which are simultaneously being expanded by growing awareness of structural biases and exclusionary practices. Through invaluable collaborations with faculty\, students\, and staff\, Hannah is defining how Avery should respond to and support these new areas of importance which will ensure Avery’s relevance and international standing. \n  \n \nDr. Tara Dudley is a Lecturer at the University of Texas at Austin and historic preservation consultant. Her research examines the contributions of African American builders and architects to the American built environment\, focusing on the antebellum and Reconstruction eras in Austin and Texas and the architectural activities of New Orleans’ gens de couleur libres (free people of color). She is the author of Building Antebellum New Orleans: Free People of Color and Their Influence (University of Texas Press\, 2021) and of the forthcoming biography ‘There is Something to be Done’: The Life and Work of John Saunders Chase. Her current research explores the contributions of African Americans to Austin’s built environment from the antebellum era onward and includes re-analysis of Austin’s only recognizable slave quarters building at the Neill-Cochran House Museum and identification of African American builders and architects from the city’s founding through the Jim Crow era. She has written nearly a dozen historic furnishings reports in collaboration with Austin-based preservation consulting firm HHM & Associates\, Inc. where she worked as a full-time senior architectural historian for 15 years. Dr. Dudley has been involved in various aspects of historic preservation\, historical research\, and writing and consults on projects on local\, regional\, and national levels. She obtained her doctorate in Architectural History and master’s degree in Historic Preservation from UT-Austin and holds a bachelor’s degree in Art History from Princeton University. \n \n\nSreya Chakraborty (’20 graduate) is an architect and heritage preservationist. She has worked on several heritage buildings and cultural landscapes in India and the US. She holds a Master of Science in Historic Preservation from Columbia University GSAPP. Her recent work has been with National Park Service’s NCPTT\, using digital documentation and visualization technologies to explore institutionally underrepresented historic living quarters of the enslaved\, tenant farming and sharecroppers in the United States.  She is interested in working at the intersections of cultural preservation\, universal design and environmental justice combining evolving technologies and storytelling. \n\nThe panel will be moderated by: \n \nTonia Sing Chi (’18 graduate) is a design activist\, preservationist\, and scholar working at the intersection of place-based building practices\, storytelling\, and collective\, cross-cultural approaches to architectural practice. She holds a Master of Architecture and a Master of Science in Historic Preservation from Columbia University GSAPP\, where her graduate thesis investigated the ethics and dynamics of collaborative design partnerships in Tribal housing projects that perpetuated earthen architectural traditions. Following graduation\, she was a KPF Paul Katz Fellow where she researched the role of architecture and planning in dispossession and displacement in the settler colonial context of Sydney\, Australia and how we might work towards the decolonization of urban land. She has taught community design-build at UC Berkeley’s College of Environmental Design and has partnered with several non-profit organizations advocating for food justice and housing security on Chochenyo and Ramaytush Ohlone land (the San Francisco Bay Area)\, where she is from. Tonia is an instructor and core organizer with Dark Matter University and an editor for Dialectic\, a peer-reviewed and peer-mentored journal on decolonizing design pedagogy. She is also a founding member of Nááts’íilid Initiative\, an Indigenous-led\, coalition-driven community development collaborative (CDC) that strengthens the cultural and economic resilience of Dinétah through self-reliance initiatives in the built environment. \nand \n \nAnna Gasha is a doctoral student in Historic Preservation at Columbia GSAPP. Her research interests include the history and politics of science\, engineering\, and technology within preservation practice. While at Columbia\, she has served as a research assistant for the Urban Heritage\, Sustainability\, and Social Inclusion initiative hosted by the Earth Institute’s Center for Sustainable Urban Development. Anna holds an Sc.B. in Materials Engineering and a B.A. in History of Art and Architecture from Brown University and an M.S. in Structural Engineering\, Mechanics and Materials from UC Berkeley. She is a licensed Professional Engineer (Civil) in California.

SUMMARY:Fall Party 2019: Fireboat John J. Harvey
DESCRIPTION:Please join your fellow Preservation Alumni for the annual Fall Party on Thursday\, September 19th on the historic Fireboat John J. Harvey. Enjoy food and drinks while reconnecting with your fellow HP alum and welcoming the new class of preservationists. In addition\, the recipient of the 2019 Cleo and James Marston Fitch Prize will be announced. The boat will depart Pier 66 at 6:30PM for a lovely evening boat ride around Manhattan. Please be sure you’re on board by 6:15PM to join us! \nWe are thrilled to host our party on the Fireboat John J. Harvey. Fireboat John J. Harvey\, launched in 1931\, served the City of New York and New York Harbor until she retired in 1994.  She was a historic first; the first fireboat powered by internal combustion engines\, the first that could pump and maneuver simultaneously\, and was the largest\, fastest fire fighting machine of her time\, capable of pumping 18\,000 gallons per minute. \nIn 1931 much was added to the New York scene\, including John J. Harvey. She is in good company and shares a birthday with notable contemporaries like the Empire State Building and George Washington Bridge. To this day\, she is the harbor’s fastest big fireboat and remains the senior in longevity. Saved from the scrap yard by a dedicated group of volunteers she is now moored at Pier 66 Maritime\, at 26th St. and the Hudson River alongside the Frying Pan restaurant and the lightship Frying Pan.  The fireboat now serves as an operational museum and education center\, offering free public trips to New Yorkers and visitors.

SUMMARY:Members Only Tour: Armour-Stiner (Octagon) House
DESCRIPTION:Join us on April 28th for a tour of the magnificent Armour-Stiner (Octagon) House\, located in Irvington\, NY. The Octagon House is the only known fully domed\, octagonal residence and the only house built in the form of an ancient classical temple in the United States. The home was built in the 1860s by Paul J. Armour\, but New York City tea merchant Joseph Stiner added the dome and verandah to create the elaborate Roman-style temple.\nThe house was briefly owned by the National Trust for Historic Preservation in 1976 but was ultimately resold in 1978 to a private citizen. Joseph Pell Lombardi (HP class of 1983)\, the owner\, is a preservation architect specializing in conservation\, restoration and historic preservation throughout the world. Under the direction of Lombardi’s son\, Michael Hall Lombardi has managed\, researched and performed restoration work throughout the house\, including the Egyptian Revival Room\, Basement\, Kitchen\, Greenhouse & Studio and much of the decorative surfaces. \nThe house and grounds have been restored to their 1872 appearance. The interior of the house\, its decoration and its 1870s furnishings are the best display in the country of the American neo-Roman style\, popular for a brief period in the third quarter of the 19th century. Under the guidance of Michael Hall Lombardi\, the only domestic Egyptian Revival room still in existence with its original 19th century furnishings and decoration has been reinstated. The house has been the subject of numerous articles and awards. \nThe tour is open to current students and alumni. Members will meet at Grand Central at 9:45am to take the 10:07am train from Grand Central to Ardsley-on-Hudson. Tours will begin at 11.30am. The first tour will take place from 11:30-12:30 and the second tour will take place from 12:30-1:30. While the first tour is taking place\, the other half of the group can enjoy light refreshments and appetizers/snacks on the porch and see the grounds. Then the groups will switch and the second group will tour\, while the first group enjoys the grounds and refreshments. We will return on the 2:14pm train back to Grand Central. \nPlease email us at info@preservationalumni.org if you plan on driving and we can coordinate parking.

SUMMARY:Members Tour: Great Hall\, New York Hall of Science
DESCRIPTION:** MEET AT 10AM AT THE ADMISSIONS DESK (map here)** \nWe’re excited to announce our upcoming members-only tour of the iconic Great Hall at the New York Hall of Science! Join us on Sunday\, December 9th at 10am for a tour with conservator\, James Marston Fitch fellow\, and HP alum Laura Buchner. She’ll outline the history of the Great Hall\, provide an overview of dalle de verre and her research on the material\, and explain the interior and exterior restoration of the dalle de verre and cast-in-place concrete facade. \nOne of New York City’s signature spaces\, the Great Hall is NYSCI’s original exhibition gallery\, constructed for the 1964–65 World’s Fair. Designed by Wallace K. Harrison\, the Great Hall has undulating walls composed of dalle de verre (also known as faceted glass) that rise 90-feet tall. In 2015\, a major restoration of the Great Hall was completed by Ennead Architects\, with Building Conservation Associates acting as the conservation consultants throughout the exterior and interior restoration\, developing restoration treatments through extensive field and laboratory testing. \nLaura Buchner\, senior conservator at BCA\, was recently awarded the 2018 James Marston Fitch Mid-Career Fellowship for her proposal “The Luminous Dalle de Verre of Gabriel Loire: The Fabrication\, Deterioration\, and Conservation of Faceted Glass.” She was involved in work on the Great Hall from 2005 throughout 2015. In 2017\, she was involved in the study of Harrison’s other famous dalle de verre facade at the First Presbyterian Church in Stamford\, Connecticut.

SUMMARY:Fall Party: 79th Street Boat Basin
DESCRIPTION:Please join your fellow Preservation Alumni for the annual Fall Party on Thursday\, September 20th at the beautiful 79th Street Boat Basin. Enjoy food and drinks while reconnecting with your fellow HP alum and welcoming the new class of preservationists. PA will be making several exciting announcements about upcoming events and faculty achievements. In addition\, the recipient of the2018 Cleo and James Marston Fitch Prize will be announced. \nWe are thrilled to once again host our party at the Boat Basin Cafe. As one of the city’s oldest event locations on the Hudson River\, this basin has hosted famous historic guests like Frank Sinatra and Mario Puzo. Constructed in 1937 by Gilmore D. Clarke during the tenure of Robert Moses as Parks Commissioner\, the boat basin was originally built to offer a place for boats to dock during the summer; it also was part of a larger project to cover over the tracks of New York Central Railroad’s West Side Line and transform what had become an unsightly industrial shoreline into an appealing parkland and public amenity.
