Hosted by the ICAA Philadelphia Chapter
Join us on Thursday, November 21 at 6PM at the Athenaeum of Philadelphia for this exciting program! Gustavo Giovannoni (1873-1947) was a central figure in the fields of architecture, urbanism, and historic preservation in the first half of the 20th century in his native Italy and throughout Europe. His theory and practice have had a profound, if often unacknowledged, influence in these fields up to the present day.
Steven W. Semes is Professor of Architecture and Director of the Michael Christopher Duda Center for Preservation, Resilience, and Sustainability at the University of Notre Dame. He was Academic Director of the Notre Dame Rome Studies Program 2008-2011. He is the author of The Future of the Past: A Conservation Ethic for Architecture, Urbanism, and Historic Preservation (2009) and The Architecture of the Classical Interior (2004), as well as many articles. His new book is New Building in Old Cities: Writings by Gustavo Giovannoni on Architectural and Urban Conservation will be discussed with a Q&A and book signing.
