Preservation and Design in Traditional Communities
ARCH 462 001 / ARCH 662 001 June 15-19

Such thinking is critical to the resiliency of tribal and rural communities as well as urban ethnic enclaves in New Mexico. Students will debate thought-provoking readings covering international standards, charters, and approaches, while guest speakers and field trips will emphasize on-going initiatives in the region.
Instructor: Shawn Evans, AIA, Director of Preservation and Cultural Projects, Atkin Olshin Schade Architects, and James Marston Fitch Fellow.
