CIAT 6306 - Studio II Adaptive Reuse & Historical Preservation

Institution:

SUNY College of Technology at Alfred

Subject:

Description:

This studio course concentrates on developing the problem solving skills necessary for major commercial building renovations, adaptive reuse, and historic preservation projects. Projects will involve the gathering of information about the historical evolution of a building, the understanding of its relationship to its wider physical and cultural environment, and the documentation and analysis of its structural and material condition. Over the course of three to four projects, the students creatively synthesize their research of existing buildings in Alfred and the surrounding region with new program requirements into schematic and design development proposals. The studio problems ask the students to consider how the life of existing and historic buildings can be reinvented, and how their relationship to the wider community can be enriched and invigorated. Topics addressed include the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties, standards for the documentation of as-built conditions, historic architectural styles, historic construction technology and materials, Historic Districts and the public approval process, and the significance of history in the creative design process.
