“New Building in Old Cities:
Advice from an Early 20th Century Italian Master”
with Author Steven W. Semes
Wednesday, September 11
6:30-7:30 p.m.
Join us for an engaging program with Steven W. Semes, Professor of Architecture and Director of the Duda Center for Preservation, Resilience and Sustainability at the University of Notre Dame. He will speak about his new book titled New Building in Old Cities: Writings by Gustavo Giovannoni on Architectural and Urban Conservation. Giovannoni (1873-1947) was a central figure in the fields of architecture, urbanism and historic preservation in the first half of the 20th century in his native Italy and throughout Europe. His theory and practice have had a profound influence in these fields up to the present day, including a sense of community between historic architecture and contemporary design, the mission of restoration to make our historic monuments whole, and a deep sense of respect for the character and meaning of historic buildings, cities and landscapes.
There is no charge for the program but registration is required.
