Upcoming Programs and Events


As a lead-in to the HDC Conference in March, HDC is co-sponsoring a lecture at the Museum of the City of New York: The Row House Reborn, book talk with author Andrew Dolkart

February 8th, 2010

In the decades just before and after World War I, a group of architects, homeowners, and developers pioneered innovative and affordable housing alternatives. They converted the deteriorated and bleak row houses of old New York neighborhoods into modern and stylish dwellings. Join Andrew S. Dolkart, author of The Row House Reborn (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2009), as he traces this aesthetic movement from its inception in 1908 to a wave of projects for the wealthy on the East Side to the faux artists' studios for young professionals in Greenwich Village.

6:30 pm, Museum of the City of New York (5th Avenue and 103rd St., Manhattan)

Preservation in New York: The Next Generation March 5-7, 2010

This year, HDC’s Annual Preservation Conference examines the future of preservation in New York City as a movement, both in terms of the types of buildings we should be preserving and the audiences we must engage in order to be successful. What will be the landmarks for the next generation and who will be fighting to preserve them? The Conference will focus on specific types of architecture, including modern, cultural and vernacular, that have been less appreciated in the past but are now increasingly seen as significant. We will examine the reasons these buildings are important and the future of their preservation. Click here for more info and to register.
