Neighborhood Preservation Center, 232 East 11th Street,

Proposing alterations and new
construction in historic neighborhoods is a complex process
which has to account for a variety of concerns. To reach
the best possible outcome, it is important that that the
proposal has all the necessary information and is clearly
presented to and understood by everyone involved. Laura
Heim, architect, and president of the American Institute
of Architects, Queens Chapter, will present examples of
several approved architectural projects. She will discuss
the proper ways in which to present proposals at the Landmarks
Preservation Commission and to local community boards, as
well as what to look for when reviewing these projects as
a non-architect. This presentation will be of interest to
both professionals and interested members of the public.
This event is FREE to the public. Reservations
are required, as space is limited. For more information,
please contact Frampton Tolbert at (212) 614-9107 or ftolbert@hdc.org.

Members Jonathan L. Bing, Deborah J. Glick, Richard N. Gottfried
and Daniel J. O’Donnell, and State Senators Thomas
K. Duane, Liz Krueger & Diane J. Savino.

Lecture:
The
Shore Thing:
A Practical Seminar on Shoring Methods
and Case Studies for Historic Buildings
Tuesday, September 28, 2010
9:00am-1:00pm
In recent years,
with an increase in construction and demolition across the
city, New York has witnessed several unfortunate losses
of historic structures due to improper stabilization and
shoring. Understanding the unique circumstances surrounding
the structural make-up of historic buildings and how to
properly undertake shoring for these buildings is crucial
to their continued preservation.
Join the Historic
Districts Council for this special seminar examining shoring
methods and case studies from work on historic buildings.
Techniques are improving all the time and architects should
understand many of these techniques to have a fuller knowledge
of preserving and restoring buildings.
Fees:
$125/per person
$100/ per person— Special offer for Friends of HDC
& Professional Partners!
