Goldsmith Talks: Preservation Development

Presented by Britin Bostick, MSCRP + MPAff, Class of 2016, and Frank Ordia, MSHP, Class of 2016.

This lecture reveals the results of an independent study conducted in the fall 2015 semester under the guidance of Dr. Jacob Wegmann on three selected points of inquiry into historic districts and neighborhoods in Austin, Texas. Britin and Frank will be following up their fall lecture with completed data results and a more in-depth analysis of their study neighborhoods, as well as discussing the implications of population growth and city change for historic preservation and retention of historic places, and how preservationists and planners can more effectively use available tools to save the places that are important to us.

Goldsmith Talks is an open-format series of presentations organized by UTSOA faculty, staff, and students. the series aims to encourage and promote presentations that are outside of the scope of the main lecture series. Examples are: invited seminar presentations, book talks, lectures by designers and scholars who may be in Austin for another engagement, round-table discussions, film screenings, product demonstrations, or any other activity related to research, scholarship, and teaching activities and at the school. The format provides a platform for encouraging the dissemination of work by visitors and members of our community. The goal is to raise awareness, increase access, and better integrate such events within the public life of the school.
