When it comes to preservation, it’s all about location—a crucial and central factor that impacts everything. Local architecture and design traditions must be considered. City-specific ordinances and legal guidelines can directly affect (and in some cases predetermine) a project’s scope and scale. Environmental protections, changing landscapes, property-specific requirements and historic designations present additional levels of oversight. Even the act of preservation itself is subject to whichever approach prevails in a given destination. Beyond that, there are the less defined elements that vary by designer and project—the historic and cultural significance of a structure, for instance, or community backlash. In other words, the location of a preservation project may be fixed but the designer’s experience is anything but.
PART I: PRESERVATION BY LOCATION
The first part of the panel discussion will explore the panelists’ individual experiences related to preservation and how the locations they worked in informed the project.
PART II: PRESERVATION BY SITUATION
The second portion of the discussion will focus on preservation considerations that are more project-specific: property type (hotel vs residential, public-facing vs private, etc), cultural or emotional significance, high-profile figures or iconic designs, etc.
Featured panelists will include renowned designers Tim Campbell, Ceara Donnelly and Madeline Stuart with Historic Charleston Foundation President & CEO Winslow Hastie.
Purchase includes a 3-day admission ticket to the Charleston Antiques Show, March 6-8, 2020 at The Charleston Gaillard Center.
