TH13 Collaboration of Architects within the Preservation of America HSW
05/15/2008, 7:00 AM - 8:00 AM


Learning Units: 1.00-Advanced level

Training Units: 0.25-Training Area 17 (Historic Restoration)

Building preservation draws talent from design, history, technology, structural engineering, and interpretation. The Chautauqua Building in Shelbyville, Ill., is a round barn-like auditorium based on a 1902 patented structural design. The collaboration of talents in a design preservation architect and a technical preservation specialist resulted in the analysis of the fundamentals and pathologies of a 150-foot-diameter wood clad building with a steel rod truss system of the roof structure.

Learning Objectives:
  • Discuss and share knowledge on how decisions are made on preservation designs and techniques of restoration
  • Review the value of small town "big projects" and the positive effect on community through building restoration
  • Determine the benefits of maintaining the existing materials to promote the long-term repair to the building, rather than the short-term fix
Speakers: Mary B. Brush, AIA, and Charles Joseph Pell, AIA

Providers: Charles Joseph Pell Architects Inc. and Klein and Hoffman Inc.
