Columbia GSAPP Historic Preservation Lecture Series

SAVE THE DATES: Fall 2017 Lecture Series

Each semester, we host notable members of the Preservation community to come and speak to our students on campus. These events are free and open to the public. Food and wine are provided, and discussion is encouraged both before and after the talks.

Please note: Lecture locations and times are being finalized, but will likely be held around 7:00PM on the Morningside Campus. We will share the official Lecture Series poster with more detailed information in September, but in the meantime, please mark your calendars for these special dates.

All,

I am very proud and excited to share that the Historic Preservation course "Experimental Preservation" led by Jorge Otero-Pailos, was just featured in the New York Times.

"I feel that a people’s past, including their accomplishments, aspirations and failures, are reflected less in the faces of those who live in these neighborhoods than in the material, built environment in which they move and modify over time. Photography for me is a tool for continuously asking questions, for understanding the spirit of a place, and, as I have discovered over time, for loving and appreciating cities."
-Camilo José Vergara

You can check out his project 'Invincible Cities' below, for a look at some of the work that he has done nearby in Harlem.
