Abstract: “Welcome to Virden” Mural, Virden, Illinois. Photograph courtesy of the author.Fieldwork is the means by which preservationists document and understand the tangible aspects of a historic resource. It is also the way in which preservationists document and comprehend a historic resource’s intangible aspects—history, heritage, value, and lore. Through fieldwork, preservationists produce reports and surveys; but this work is more than recordation. Preservationists convey their fieldwork information in addressing the what, how, and why to preserve monuments, landscapes, and historic urban centers to a diverse audience: design professionals, policy makers, and the general public. Considerable written and graphic ... Read More PubDate: 2021-10-21T00:00:00-05:00

Abstract: The Churning of the Sea of Milk bas relief in the Southeast Gallery of Angkor Wat after restoration eliminated roof leaks that carried salts from Portland cement patches in the corbelled stone vaults. Courtesy of Glenn Boornazian for the World Monuments Fund.For centuries, architectural preservationists have responded to threats of loss of their familiar built environments by engaging to prevent them. The participatory nature of historic preservation is perhaps its key distinction; our work leads us out of our homes, the academy, and classrooms to apply our ideas and solutions to challenges in the field.The aims of architectural preservation (or conservation) are ambitious: preserving the world’s incalculably large ...

We ask new questions and build unexpected relationships. This experience has the potential to challenge our established understanding of knowledge and history of the built environment. This essay is about the transformative ... Read More PubDate: 2021-10-21T00:00:00-05:00

Abstract: United States Embassy, London, shortly after completion ca. 1960. Image: Library of Congress, Prints & Photographs Division, Balthazar Korab Archive at the Library of Congress, [LC-DIG-krb-00457].In 2008, after a lengthy period of institutional soul-searching, the US Department of State determined that it had outgrown its long-standing diplomatic home at the western edge of London’s Grosvenor Square (Figure 1). Driven by security concerns in the post-9/11 era and bolstered by the opportunity to play an active role in the revitalization of Nine Elms, an underdeveloped area south of the Thames, the decision was made to decamp from Grosvenor Square in genteel Mayfair. A competition not unlike the one that had given ... Read More PubDate: 2021-10-21T00:00:00-05:00

Abstract: Dust is a lived environment in which human materials, building materials, airborne substances, materials from animals, and molecular substances interact. We could describe these as the sediments of layers of history.In a witty, irreverent, and perceptive gloss on Jacques Derrida’s 1992 talk at the Freud Museum in London, published in French as Mal d’archive, the historian Carolyn Steedman plays on the two possible translations of Derrida’s “mal.”1 One, the literal English version, would infer that archives themselves propagate illness— she gives the example of Michelet’s migraine headaches in the Archives Nationales with evidence of the “red dust” expelled by old leather bindings, and the potential for anthrax ...

What unites these activities is that they are the vehicles through which the tangible and intangible past are activated through collaboration and interpretation.1Fieldwork is the translational space where research questions and desired impact, value systems, and interpretations are constructed and realized. It is the space and moment of interaction, reflection, and ... Read More PubDate: 2021-10-21T00:00:00-05:00
