Preservation and Design in Traditional Communities
ARCH 462 001 / ARCH 662 001 June 15-19

covering international standards, charters, and approaches, while guest speakers and field
trips
will emphasize on-going initiatives in the region. Instructor: Shawn Evans, AIA, Director of Preservation and Cultural Projects, Atkin Olshin
