Description
The American landscape is carved into an archipelago of exceptions ¿ places that resist the jurisdictional and cultural norms that surround them. If you know how to look, you'll find them everywhere: Barbieland and Burning Man, Idlewild and Wakanda, prepper bunkers and hippy communes, liberated zones and penal colonies. These 'heterotopias,' in Michel Foucault's classic definition, coexist cheek-by-jowl with dominant spatial paradigms, overlapping them, pressing against them, mocking them. Looking out from heterotopias' frontiers, this course will lend critical distance to understanding the normative, seeking to make sense of a complex geography of safety, belonging, othering, and place-based identity. Advanced seminar for historic preservation graduate students centered on a current theme in historic preservation and incorporating relevant theoretical readings. Students lead weekly discussions on issues ranging from authenticity and archaeology to reception theory and commercialization. Actual preservation projects are studied in terms of various theoretical approaches and faculty members' current work.

Description
This class will focus on the general thought processes, cultural contexts, and historical gaffs that lead to both the grassroot efforts and professionalization of Historic Preservation in the United States. Changes within the preservation movement have always been driven by the cultural ethics of the time, so we will increasingly discuss and grapple with current issues that have asked our field to stretch in scope and adapt to the rapidly changing social, economic, and environmental landscapes.
This class surveys ideas and approaches to historic preservation from multiple perspectives. We will cover a range of book excerpts, videos, newspaper articles, and other media to show the breadth of the field from both a theoretical and action-oriented perspective. Most of the required reading and viewing will be in pdf and video format and either uploaded to Canvas or linked to the syllabus.
By the end of this course, students will be able to articulate precedents in preservation approaches, describe how preservation practices have changed over time and why, weigh and demonstrate a variety of approaches to contentious or culturally-sensitive preservation challenges, demonstrate a self-critical approach, and articulate an ethical position as part of a coherent preservation narrative. Discussion will be key to this process, and a final project may consist of the creation of a zine that highlights a lesser- or un-known narrative about a place.

Description
The documentation of historic cultural resources is critical to the field of historic preservation. By immersion, students will learn photographic, measuring and drawing methods and subsequently develop a deep understanding of the pattern language of architectural drawing. Collections management and inventory will also be addressed.
During the course, we will reference the Historic American Buildings Survey collection at the United States Library of Congress. All relevant standards and guidelines issued by the National Park Service will be referenced, as well as previous projects from the HABS collection.
By measuring and drawing extant historic objects and structures to exacting standards, students will become familiar with historic construction techniques, building materials and design principles. Students will develop skills and provide final drawings and notes which will be included in the HABS collection.

Description
One of the most significant sculptors of the postwar period, Richard Hunt left behind a vibrant legacy ¿ and a working studio. Hunt, a pioneering Black artist whose career spanned seven decades, is also an important and beloved figure in Chicago, where his work is displayed in institutional collections and public spaces. Since the early 1970s, Hunt¿s creative headquarters was in Lincoln Park, a converted electrical substation originally built at the turn of the 20th century. The site is now jointly stewarded by the Richard Hunt Trust ¿ which oversees the artist¿s estate ¿ and the Richard Hunt Legacy Foundation which ¿advances public awareness, education, and appreciation of the life and art¿ of Hunt. In cooperation with the Trust and Foundation, this advanced studio course will pursue a dual outcome: first, to document the current condition of the structure and produce architectural and planning studies; and second, to vision potential future scenarios for the former studio, that preserve and interpret the site¿s history.
