9:00am-5:30pm
National Civic Art Society Presents:
Architecture of the Whole Symposium: Additions to Existing Buildings and Neighborhoods
Standard Number Nine of the “Secretary of the Interior’s Standards” has been the authority that all levels of government and many practitioners throughout the U.S. have followed to evaluate additions for tax credits, to assure compliance with governmental programs, and to respect the past.
Standard Number Nine makes clear that additions should be easily recognizable from the historic structure to which it is attached. The Standards were written at a time when no one foresaw today’s thriving, widespread skilled practice of traditional architecture reinforced by scholarly research and a resurgence of traditional building craft practice.
This day-long symposium will explore additions to historic buildings in light of the success and depth of solid work in both the worlds of historic preservation and traditional architecture. Can additions that take earlier architecture as a direct model be honest in materials and in telling the story of historic buildings? Can the profession permit new architecture that exemplifies the best of the designs of the past? Do traditional architectural styles have a place in the 21st century? Wednesday's symposium will be followed with a day-long tour of additions to historic buildings in the Washington, DC area, on Thursday October 5.
Leading professionals in the fields of historic preservation and architecture will look at recognized standards from around the world, review existing practice, offer a new paradigm, and possibly vote upon a new framework for additions.
With support from:
The Institute of Classical Architecture & Classical America

Interpreting Standard Number Nine of the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation can be contentious and divisive as traditionalists and advocates for contemporary design try to find common ground.

- Learn about successful strategies for dealing with infill design.
- Gain insight about determining an area’s visual character.
Pratt Cassity is the director for the Center for Community Design, Planning, and Preservation at the College of Environment and Design, University of Georgia, Athens, GA.
