Preserving Heritage in 21st Cen: Addressing Contemporary Challenges
Time: 7:00 pm til 8:00 pm
Location: Lewis Auditorium, Flagler College
Description: Brian Goeken, chief of Technical Preservation Services with the National Park Service, will address contemporary challenges in historic preservation, as part of Flagler College’s Ideas & Images series on Thursday, Feb. 9. The lecture will be held in Lewis Auditorium at 7 p.m.
The NPS Technical Services Division develops historic preservation policy, administers a federal tax incentive program for historic preservation and sets standards for the treatment of historic properties. In Goeken’s Feb. 9 talk, he will specifically explore adaptation in response to natural hazards and preserving buildings’ historic character.
“Adapting an historic building to improve its resilience to natural hazards, such as elevating it due to flooding risk, can impact its historic character, features and appearance,” he said. “Finding ways to undertake such necessary repair and rehabilitation work in ways that preserve an historic property's character will be important to the continued preservation of these buildings.”
