Preserving the Recent Past: Researching and Advocating for Postmodernism
Join us as we continue the conversations started at the recent Preserving the Recent Past 4 Conference in Boston, MA earlier this year. This event will feature recent research and preservation projects centered on Postmodern architecture.
This discussion will be moderated by HPEF’s Board Member Priya Jain and feature the following presenters:
Maxime Coq is an architect who graduated from the University of Liège (ULiège) in 2018. He has collaborated with Binario architects (BE) and worked as a teaching and research assistant, both as a design studio tutor and in the field of heritage. He is currently pursuing a PhD at ULiège, under the supervision of Professor Claudine Houbart. Positioned at the crossroads of architectural history, semiology, and narratology, his research critically investigates the narratives and semantics embedded within postmodernist architecture, focusing on projects commissioned by The Walt Disney Company, and particularly for the 1992 EuroDisney resort.
Andrea Goldwyn is Director of Public Policy at the New York Landmarks Conservancy, a city-wide non-profit organization that advocates for New York City’s historic buildings and neighborhoods. She was previously a project manager for the Conservancy’s Historic Properties Fund, which offers low-interest loans to homeowners performing restoration work on their buildings. Goldwyn has served on the board of Preservation Action, the nation-wide, grass-roots advocate for preservation and worked at Heritage Trails New York, promoting heritage tourism in Lower Manhattan and at the National Trust for Historic Preservation. She has degrees in history and historic preservation from the University of Pennsylvania.
