2002 Summer Program in
Historic Preservation
 |
The School of Architecture at the University of Southern California is pleased to announce its tenth annual summer program of short courses devoted to the conservation of our cultural heritage. This program offers fifteen days of classes with noted experts from Southern California and the United States, which, taken together, are intended to act as a general introduction to the field of historic preservation. In addition to examining the history and philosophy of the preservation movement as it has evolved during the past century, lectures and field trips to historic sites throughout the Los Angeles area will introduce students to a broad range of legal, economic, aesthetic and technical issues associated with the documentation, conservation and interpretation of historic structures, landscapes and communities. Among sites to be visited and studied are the Gamble House, Hollyhock House, Rancho Los Alamitos, Schindler House, and the Getty Conservation Institute. This course has been designed for students, design professionals, community leaders, established preservationists, planners and developers seeking to place their practice within a contemporary context. Classes may be attended individually or in sequence, and can be taken for credit towards the USC School of Architecture's Graduate Certificate in Historic Preservation* or as AIA Continuing Education units. *Students wishing to take the summer course for credit will be charged full university tuition and should plan to meet with the instructor on Friday, July 12 and Thursday, August 1. They must be enrolled by June 15th in order to assure a place in the program. Because several field trips will be visiting sensitive historic sites, enrollment in these classes may have to be limited. Priority will be given to students enrolling in the program for credit or those taking the entire sequence of classes not for credit, but also enrolled by June 15th. Others will be admitted based upon the date that their application is received. |
