We will usually meet at the Center for Urban and Economic Research, First Floor Conference Room but check your course outline before you leave for class or call me on my cell phone if you get lost 502.608.7567.Univers

4、ty of a city as defined by its past. This historic past is often the foundation of a great city whether it is: Paris, London, San Francisco, Chicago, Amsterdam, or Havana The beauty of buildings left by our ancestors help define who we are. Historic Preservation is also a powerful tool for economic

5、development that attracts the “creative class” to a city. Historic buildings also provide a large proportion of our affordable housing for the poor and working class. Students will not only learn to identify the types of historic buildings (Art Deco, Queen Annie and Federal), we are learn about the

6、economics and profits involved in preservation. Government at all levels recognizes the importance and value of preservation by enacting laws to protect, preserve and profit in historic buildings. Unlike most classes, this course is taught mostly “outside the classroom” so you can see, touch and sme

7、ll great examples of historic preservation. We will have a number of guest lectures, walking tours, slide presentations and movies; learning is also designed to be “experiential” which means seeing close up these great historic structures. We will visit Chicago, Newport/Cincinnati, and several histo

8、ric locations around Louisville. We believe that students “learn more” via experiental learning by going on field trips than staying in a classroom. You cannot understand preservation without going out and seeing it with your own eyes and hearing how these classic buildings have been “saved”, “renov

9、ated” or “restored”. As Hans Christian Andersen has said: To Travel is to live! Topics to be covered are as follows:Identifying and defining different kinds of historic housesArt DecoPreservation in Amsterdam, Chicago and HavanaFolk architectureModern architectureCase Study: Cuban PreservationDownto

10、wn Loft Living MovementEconomics and politics of PreservationHistoric Preservation strives to give a good working overview of preservation from political, economic, sociological and planning perspectives. Historic preservation should apply to anyone who is interested in the areas of urban design, pl

11、anning, real estate, banking, public administration and social services. In the past, advisors have been willing to designate this as an elective for a variety of majors including business, architecture, political science, social work, and economics. A number of former students have taken a variety

12、of jobs including architecture firms, city planning departments, real estate firms, or started their own business of renovating historic units. Some cool quotes before we get started:Travel broadens your horizons and your visualization of whats possible, he said last year in Portico, a University of

13、 Michigan magazine. A picture never ever does what being in a place can do. It provides a feel for history, how architecture evolved, the potential of architecture, and is a source of innumerable ideas. John Bikel, ArchitectMaybe we can use these lovely buildings to save the people who live in them.

14、 Barbara Capitman, who led the way to the creation of the Art Deco District on Miami Beach “Progress is a wonderful thing, but Ive never seen anything rise that was better than what was there before, and Im sorry I have to say that.”Herb Caen, San Francisco chronicle July 17, 1988Frank Gehry (who 30

15、 years later would be ranked as one of the worldsgreatest architects along side of Frank Lloyd Wright, La Corbusier andMies van der Rohe)began post-graduate studies in city planning atHarvard in 1956. He hated it and dropped out before the year ended. Tofill his time, he did odd jobs and took a numb

16、er of courses includingone taught by Joseph Hudnut, an architect and writer. Instead oflecturing on classical architecture in a darkened amphitheatre, Hudnuttook his students on walking tours of Boston, discussing with them itsAmerican architecture.The experience had a huge impact on Gehry. Itgave m

17、e something to strive forquoted from Naomi Stungo in her bookFrank Gehry. I want to inspire greatness and excitement for all my students. My bestclasses at the University of California were outside theclassroom-walking around with my Professors studying the campus, mylittle town Isla Vista, Santa Ba

18、rbara, Santa Monica, Los Angeles and SanFrancisco had a major impact on me. I just loved it. JIG .The course will be run as a seminar, so class discussion will be encouraged. I will also draw on my experience as a consultant to developers, city councils, legislatures, and community organizations. As

19、 instructor, I reserve the right to make changes in the organization of the course; this allows the class to be flexible and responsive to the needs of the students and the professor. You will get a letter grade in five areas, with grades being averaged out for your final grade. The five areas you w

20、ill receive letter grades in are as follows: 1) Class Participation (20%)Since the course is designed as a seminar, it is expected that students come prepared to discuss the assigned readings of the week, use good social skills, and if possible introduce relevant current events into class discussion

21、. The first part of class will generally be in a lecture format, followed by a class discussion during the second half of class. This also means giving us an email address so we can forward you chapters of articles to be downloaded and save you money. We want you to come to all classes. All classes

22、are interesting, important and thought provoking. If you are sick, have a family emergency a boss that is making you work on Saturday you get a hall pass. Students are not allowed to engage in personal attacks on other students. If they do their class participation grade will be significantly lower.

23、 Please be nice, have good debates and learn a lot. Your class presentation will also be reflected in this grade. 2) Exams (20%)The final and midterm will be a take home examination. Questions will be given to you in advance to work on and should be incorporated into your experiential journal. See b

24、elow. 3) Project (20%)This requirement must relate to the issues discussed in this class. The project can be a paper, a slide show, an architectural tour of housing or any creative endeavor one could think of utilizing. The project may either be an individual or two-student effort. Students must tur

25、n in a one-page proposal to me and have my approval in writing. Since you worked so hard on this project, a class presentation will also be expected. This presentation will take place the last two weeks of class.4) Experiential Journal (20%) Reflections on what you saw. Ideally it is a journal of th

26、oughts, reflections and analysis. It must be typed. We encourage students to use their cameras as part of this journal. Using a camera you will be asked to out in the Louisville area and take photos of houses that represent a certain kind of style. Along with identifying the style, you must also def

27、ine that style as well. Normally this would be done as a journal. You will be asked to turn the journal in as a midterm and as part of your final grade Required ReadingsTitle:Historic Preservation: An Introduction to its History, Principles and PracticeAuthor:Norman TylerPublication:W.W.
