| Details | Join New Haven Preservation Trust and MakeHaven for another installment of the Houseparts Hospital, a recurring program series helping New Haven residents learn how to restore historic buildings. This session will explore the topic of architectural salvage as it pertains to sustainability and historical context. Joe DeRisi of Urban Miners in Hamden will share why he doesn’t give up on the materials coming from a renovation or demolition – and the economic and environmental benefits of doing so. Attendees of the session will: · Learn how a historic building can be saved rather than demolished by deconstruction. · Identify the mechanics of material recovery and how they can be made available again for use. · Discover opportunities for repurposing historic building materials in renovation projects. · Understand design challenges involved when working with architectural salvage materials. · Review historic preservation ordinances and how they can be improved to encourage deconstruction when appropriate. There will be time at the end of the presentation for Q&A. Due to limited seating availability, pre-registration is required (no walk-ins). In the event that you register and are unable to attend this session, please kindly notify administration@nhpt.org as soon as possible so that we can make your spot available to somebody else. |
