Traditional Architecture & Urbanism, with Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk of DPZ CoDesign

Описание: Architect and urban planner Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk presents an overview of New Urbanism and discusses its adaptation to contemporary concerns of sustainability and resilience.

In November 2023, the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art hosted the national conference Enduring Places. For three days, 225 participants from around the country gathered in Charleston, South Carolina and engaged in a diverse offering of talks, panel discussions, working sessions, and tours focused on three themes: craftsmanship, preservation, and sustainability.

The ICAA’s mission of recovering a building design language and its craft has been reinforced by the parallel focus on traditional urban design of the New Urbanism. New Urban communities have provided a welcoming context for traditional architecture, extending its influence beyond the individual building to the creation of a sense of place. This presentation will illustrate this mutual reinforcement, and its adaptation to contemporary concerns of sustainability and resilience.

From April to June 2024, the ICAA will be releasing all of the recordings from Enduring Places. Sign up for the ICAA's biweekly newsletter, World of Classicism, to be notified when other installments are released in the coming weeks: https://bit.ly/ICAAemails
