The topic of the lecture will be "A Different Idea of Time: A Preservationist's View" consistent with the College's Spring 2006 Lecture Series theme of "Time." The illustrated lecture will discuss the difference of design life expectations between contemporary and historic buildings, fashion, and the concept of style exhaustion, as well as use obsolescence and the transitory nature of the building program. A reception will follow the lecture at the Smith House/Center for Preservation Studies (pictured above) within walking distance of the lecture auditorium.
