*Historical preservation tours and demonstrations will be held at various campus locations.
The day will begin with a brief historical presentation highlighting the unique works in sandstone masonry, stained glass, glass mosaics, dual-tone concrete flooring and terracotta roof tiles that characterize Stanford’s historic campus and the untold stories of the artisans who created them. This overview will be followed by three in-depth architectural conservation workshops led by preservation experts. Participants will have the opportunity to engage in a dialogue with the presenters to discuss lessons learned, best practices for monitoring, planning, implementing, and documenting conservation projects. By sharing the heritage and legacy of the past in the present, the workshops will benefit future generations of architectural conservationists.
Each workshop will feature a demonstration of preservation techniques, a tour of a recent project site, and commentary on the connection between Stanford’s historic architecture and the Bay Area’s increasing technological innovation. For a personalized engagement, attendees will be assigned to smaller groups and will rotate through all three conservation workshops during the course of the day.
