Creating and Recreating Santa Fe: Making Room for Innovation Within Tradition

Chris Wilson, the J. B. Jackson Chair of Cultural Landscape Studies, Emeritus, and founding director of the Historic Preservation and Regionalism Program at the University of New Mexico, will discuss how Santa Fe developed its unique regional identity and trademark architectural style, and the benefits and consequences. He will share his perspectives on how Santa Fe can preserve its history and culture amidst continued growth, while also drawing inspiration from the rich repertory of high quality, multifamily house types across the U.S. Sunbelt before World War II, most famously, the example of courtyard apartments.  Reception to immediately follow lecture.
