64th Annual Meeting New Orleans, Lousiana April 13 – 17 2011

Letter from the General Chair

Returning to New Orleans for the first time since 1974, the Society of Architectural Historians will encounter a city much transformed

by Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath. For many of us, it will be our first opportunity to see for ourselves the extent of the damage, the pace of the recovery, and the remarkable efforts of the resilient people of New Orleans to rebuild the physical and social fabric of their vibrant communities.

We are privileged to visit the city at this moment, when there is so much attention being paid to the built environment and its meaning in real, human terms. This year’s Historic Preservation Seminar—“PostDisaster Preservation: Best- and Worst-Case Scenarios,” facilitated

by Eugene D. Cizek, Ph.D., F.A.I.A., Director of Preservation Studies, Tulane University—promises to be informative, thought-provoking, and undoubtedly moving as well.

If the city has changed since the SAH last visited, so has our Society.

While the Society sponsored a scant nine sessions at the Annual Meeting in 1974, this year there are an unprecedented thirty sessions on the program, including one devoted to five-minute talks by graduate students in the “lightning round” format that proved so successful last year in Chicago. Equally noteworthy is the range of topics and methodologies represented in the program. In addition to the many rich and wonderful sessions focused on the architecture of a particular time and place, there are a number of thematic sessions that are global in their reach and in some cases span the centuries as well. No matter what your subspecialty, you will find plenty to engage your intellectual curiosity during the Annual Meeting. Please be sure to share this program with colleagues and friends who may not be aware of the richness of the Society’s offerings.

Given the city’s ongoing recovery efforts, New Orleans is also an ideal venue for considering some of the larger implications of architectural history as a field. Why is architectural history important and to whom? Is the field having the impact we would like to see? If not, what do we want to do about it? To fuel our collective thinking about these issues, we head to Audubon Aquarium of the Americas on Thursday evening for the third

New Orleans cityscape at night

One note about a change in SAH routine: in order to give participants more time to attend midday roundtables and walking tours, information about SAH activities (in the past covered in noontime sessions) will be available throughout the meeting in the book exhibition area. Please stop by at your convenience to learn more about upcoming study tours, test-drive SAHARA, or talk informally with the editor of the Journal of the Society of Architectural Historians.

Finally, I extend my heartfelt thanks to the many people who have worked so hard to make this meeting a success, especially the local committee, which has been ably chaired by Robert González. Thanks also to Pauline Saliga, the Society’s resourceful and creative executive director, and to the SAH staff members who demonstrate their unwavering commitment to the Society on a daily basis: Kathy Sturm, Bob Drum, Anne Bird, Beth Eifrig, and Kara Elliott-Ortega. We are all fortunate to have such an active and engaged board of directors, with Dianne Harris at its helm. I am grateful to all the session chairs and speakers listed in this program for their expansive views of the field, scholarly acumen, and willingness to donate their time to crafting papers and sessions that promise to prompt a vibrant scholarly conversation about the history of the built environment. Thanks especially to all of you who are joining us in New Orleans. I look forward to seeing you there.

Abigail A. Van Slyck General Chair, 64th Annual Meeting First Vice President Society of Architectural Historians

In addition to this important event, two other offerings in particular speak to the Society’s continuing commitment to bringing a high standard of architectural history to a broad audience. One will take place on Saturday afternoon, when one of the tour options involves a community project at the Priestley Charter School of Architecture and Construction. There we will meet with the faculty and students, some of whom will conduct a tour of the school and the surrounding neighborhood. Instead of paying a tour fee, SAH participants will each donate a book to the school’s first library. Later, that evening, SAH invites you to a progressive-style fund-raiser at private homes and gardens in the Garden District. Proceeds from this event will support the Society’s ongoing educational initiatives. Please lend your support to this effort while enjoying true New Orleans hospitality.

in a series of four annual plenary talks. This year, our speaker will be Craig Wilkins, an architect and theorist whose work (notably his 2007 book, The Aesthetics of Equity: Notes on Race, Space, Architecture, and Music) should prompt us to think about the relationship between architectural history and the architectural profession in new ways. As has been our practice in recent years, we also will take time on Thursday evening to congratulate fellowship recipients, to acknowledge especially active longtime members by making them Fellows of the Society, and, most important, to honor winners of the Society’s coveted book awards for scholarship.

French Quarter balcony

Welcome to New Orleans

Since the early nineteenth century, the city of New Orleans has maintained global recognition, first as one of the nation’s principal port cities, and later as it claimed a colorful spotlight in the world of tourism and leisure. Touted as a gateway to the Americas, even when its port was no longer the leading import-export vehicle, the city gained notoriety for its easy access to the good life—or, some might say, the Seven Deadly Sins—right in the heart of the nation’s Deep South. This infamous destination brings visitors face to face with a distinct French Creole culture, traces of Caribbean life, and an unforgettable array of Mardi Gras festivities.

Today, New Orleans is evolving into a symbol of a city able to rebuild itself and overcome human error and natural disaster. Many attribute this to its rich history and an infrastructure deeply rooted in its unique culture and fine-grained architecture. Even as New Orleans prepared for the five-year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, and Louisiana’s most vulnerable outposts face permanent destruction of an ecological scale, this heroic ability to resurrect gracefully was not forgotten. In only a few years, the city that once seemed frozen in historical time—with the Vieux Carré (French Quarter) and precious vernacular architecture providing storybook imagery of the city—has emerged as a living laboratory. The city has fully rebounded. And yes, you can eat the seafood!

This new city of architectural experimentation and innovation is at once rethinking its vernacular underpinnings and grappling to save its surviving modern structures. Come see this transformation in action and reflect on it while experiencing the confluences of the old and new. This year’s Annual Meeting presents an opportunity to view the various architectural settings that have established the city’s cultural milieu, from the Vieux Carré to the Garden District’s upscale lifestyle, to neighborhoods beyond, and to the artful kitsch of the parade traditions. Annual Meeting participants will be able to sit in on ongoing conversations as New Orleanians assess their changing landscape.

Our meeting will be of interest to architects, art historians, landscape architects, urban designers, and professionals in the historic preservation fields. This year’s Historic Preservation Seminar, titled “Post-Disaster Preservation: The Best- and Worst-Case Scenarios,” will bring together

A new community outreach activity offered this year will bring participants to another example of domestic architecture in the historic neighborhood of Gentilly, which is well off the typical tourist path. In an unprecedented partnership, SAH will play a significant role in assisting Priestley Charter School of Architecture and Construction, established post-Katrina, to move into its new home in this neighborhood. In addition to SAH’s agreement to offer the school’s faculty access to SAHARA, Annual Meeting attendees will have the opportunity to donate to a book drive to help build up the high school’s new library.

Annual Meeting participants who register for this program and bring at least one book in hand, or who have mailed books to Priestley ahead of time, will be invited to a special lunch and a neighborhood walking tour prepared by the students in anticipation of SAH’s visit. Space is limited for this program; the number of books is not.

In addition to tours of other historical sites of note—including Charles Moore’s postmodern icon the Piazza d’Italia, the boutique hotels and restaurants in the French Quarter, and an H. H. Richardson treasure— participants will also experience the city’s abundant landscapes.

We will explore the Pitot House (a Creole colonial plantation home on Bayou St. John), the Longue Vue House and Gardens, and the botanical and sculpture gardens of City Park. Plantation house tours will offer firsthand accounts by specialists in the preservation efforts that have saved these structures.

A city of spectacle depends on the element of surprise, so not all planned activities can be disclosed with this short appetizer. We promise an unforgettable presentation with all the local trappings, delicious food, and romping music. To you and yours, a warm welcome to the city of New Orleans!

While urban rebuilding has permeated nearly every inch of New Orleans, we will also offer special tours of the city’s most concentrated efforts in the Lower Ninth Ward. Founded by actor Brad Pitt, the Make it Right Foundation has completed nearly fifty homes that stand as case studies in sustainable and affordable housing. These test cases offer proof of the city’s ongoing battle with humidity, mold, and, most important, water. The innovative architecture underway in these once devastated neighborhoods is a testament to the extent to which the city is rooted in domestic architecture and neighborhood vitality—each new structure is a meditation on the shotgun, the camelback, the double-wide, and other local housing types. The opportunity to see these built experiments, and visit their original counterparts amid the Garden District and St. Charles Avenue mansions, will shed new light on the city’s historic romance with the home and neighborhood.

specialists from the city’s government offices, FEMA, and the National Trust for Historic Preservation, to assess the effect Hurricane Katrina has had on preservation policies and practices. These conversations will segue into tours presenting modernism’s struggle to survive in New Orleans, including a look at midcentury buildings that face demolition. We will reflect on the hard work that is being undertaken by the regional chapters of DOCOMOMO US.

HISTORIC PRESERVATION SEMINAR

This seminar brings together specialists from the New Orleans Historic District Landmarks Commission, the Southeastern Architectural Archives at Tulane University, and the National Trust for Historic Preservation, to assess the effect Hurricane Katrina has had on preservation policies and best practices. Panel presentations will examine the ways in which post-Katrina rebuilding efforts were at times sensitive to preservation concerns, but in many cases, did not consider the preservation goals of the city. Panelists include: Walter Gallas, Director, Northeast Field Office, National Trust for Historic Preservation, Philadelphia Walter Gallas is the former director of the New Orleans Field Office of the National Trust for Historic Preservation (NTHP). Established after Hurricane Katrina, the New Orleans office was an unprecedented response by the National Trust to the devastation in the Gulf Coast. Previously the deputy director of the New Orleans Historic District Landmarks Commission and longtime resident of New Orleans, Gallas has been with the National Trust for six years. He holds a master’s degree in Urban and Regional Planning from the University of New Orleans. The Northeast Field Office of the NTHP in Philadelphia serves Pennsylvania, Delaware, and New Jersey.

Keli Rylance, Ph.D., Head, Southeastern Architectural Archive and the School of Architecture Library, Tulane University As Head of the Southeastern Architectural Archive, Keli Rylance served as a key point person who was consulted by developers, homeowners, lawyers, and architects during the post-Katrina rebuilding effort. After moving to New Orleans in 2008, she joined DOCOMOMO US’s local

Cradled in a curve of the Mississippi River, bound to the north by Lake Pontchartrain, and close by the Gulf of Mexico, New Orleans is shaped by water. Water was the reason New Orleans was founded and flourished, and it continues to define the city’s place and its architecture.

Audubon Aquarium of the Americas The History of Yesterday Craig L. Wilkins, Ph.D., AIA, University of Michigan

COST:

If increased historic preservation, restoration, and reconstruction reflect a kind of maturation of America, they also highlight the controversy over what is considered preserved, by whom, and to what ends. What is lost when we remove traces of history from the shared landscape, public memory, and common language to attract the transitory interests of capital or appease the concretized and well-guarded boundaries of disciplinary knowledge? In the scenario marked by both cultural tourism and cultural pluralism, what is to be made of architecture outside the “beautiful sell”? In this particular moment when the capitalist project of rugged individualism has cried for once unimaginable socialist support, who makes the decisions about what history is palatable for future generations to remember,

Louis Sullivan: The Struggle for American Architecture, Film Screening

5:00–7:00 p.m.

ROOM: River Bend 1 COST: Included in registration fee AIA/CES: 2 LU

The first feature-length documentary (2010) about the revolutionary and brilliant Chicago architect Louis Sullivan (1856–1924).

Known by historians as the “father of the skyscraper” and creator of the iconic phrase “form follows function,” Sullivan was at the height of his profession in 1890. Then a series of setbacks plunged him into destitute obscurity from which he never fully recovered. Yet his persistent belief in the power of his ideas resulted in some of America’s most beautiful buildings ever created, and inspired Sullivan’s protégé, Frank Lloyd Wright, to fulfill his own dream of a truly American style of architecture. Q&A will follow the 97-minute screening.

Canal Street Self-Guided Walking Tour

Canal Street is the primary mercantile artery through the city of New Orleans. In the 1920s it was touted as the Broadway of New Orleans, home to jazz venues and theaters. By the 1960s, its expanse was home to many of the city’s architectural offices. Julius Dreyfous, August Perez Jr., Sol Rosenthal, Solis Seiferth, and Curtis & Davis all maintained offices here. The street is now in flux. A number of important buildings have been razed, some are being reconditioned, and yet others are threatened by demolition.

In 2005, Hurricane Katrina destroyed more than 4,000 homes in New Orleans’ Lower Ninth Ward. Two years later, when actor Brad Pitt toured the city, the neighborhood was still deserted and devastated. Pitt promised the families he met there that he would help “make it right.” He founded the nonprofit Make It Right Foundation to build 150 affordable, green, storm-resistant homes for families living in the Lower Ninth Ward at the time of the storm. This tour will focus on the innovative work proposed by local architects and by high-profile architects such as GRAFT, Adjaye Associates, Shigeru Ban, and Morphosis Architects Inc., among others. Make it Right has completed nearly 50 homes and brought close to 200 people back to the city of New Orleans.

New Orleans has more than twenty neighborhoods listed on the National Register of Historic Places, all of which suffered damage and building loss during Hurricane Katrina. This tour will take participants across the city to see how some of the most famous and some of the lesser-known historic neighborhoods in New Orleans have recovered from Hurricane Katrina and its subsequent flooding. Participants will travel off the beaten path for a close-up view of how many of the city’s historic and cultural treasures look after five and a half years of recovery and rebuilding efforts.

TR6 U.S. Customhouse John Klingman, AIA, Tulane University School of Architecture, Tour Leader

A fast-paced walk-through of the U. S. Customhouse in New Orleans. When work began in 1848, this building was exceeded in size only by the Capitol in Washington. However, the construction of the building stretched until 1881 through a succession of architects, construction supervisors, political changes, and technical innovations.

Each of these entailed struggles that left marks upon the physical fabric of the structure. The Central Business Room, known as the Marble Hall, is acknowledged to be one of the finest Greek Revival spaces in the United States. It has recently been restored although it is not open to the public.

Beginning in 1914, a series of renovations, some sympathetic, some not, have altered the building. The tour leader participated with a New Orleans architectural firm in a series of renovation/restoration projects beginning in 1986 and was a principal author of the Historic Building Preservation Plan as well. The building is currently unoccupied while the latest renovation is being completed. Hard hats will be provided.

Located across from the John Charles Olmsted-inspired Audubon Park, Tulane University has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1978. It is the only private university in the country that has its origins as a public institution. Founded in 1834 as the Medical College of Louisiana, the school transformed under the patronage of Paul Tulane (1801–87), for whom it was renamed in 1884.

Seven years later, the university acquired land along St. Charles Avenue, and the first Romanesque Revival structure was commissioned shortly thereafter. Tour participants will also visit the Lavin-Bernick Center for University Life (1959, 2007), designed by Curtis & Davis and redesigned

by Vincent James, and winner of the AIA/COTE Top Ten Green Projects for 2008.

In the mid-twentieth century, New Orleans was home to a cadre of innovative architects who sought to employ modernist solutions to address regional conditions. The hot and humid climate, unstable substrates, and high-density land-use patterns provided significant obstacles to be overcome, as did the populace’s preference for its traditional buildings. Architects such as Claude E. Hooton, Curtis & Davis, Albert C. Ledner, and Charles Colbert garnered national attention from a city known for its unwavering support of nineteenth-century architectural forms. Sponsored by DOCOMOMO US/LA, this tour will highlight the city’s modernist arteries, neighborhoods and structures. Beginning along Canal Street, home to many of the modernist firms, the tour will follow this mercantile artery into Mid-City, where it will loop around into historic Tremé to stop at the Phillis Wheatley Elementary School (Charles R. Colbert, 1955), a World Monuments Fund watch site. From there, the tour will stop at several residences along Bayou St. John and in the Lakeshore neighborhood, culminating at the home of native architect Albert C. Ledner, where tour participants can enjoy some light refreshments.

Oak Alley Plantation

tours |

43

In the decade prior to the Civil War, the Mississippi River served as a super-highway for the planters of southern Louisiana, providing transport for goods, services, and visitors. The Great Mississippi River Road followed the river just beyond the levee boundaries, and plantation houses faced the river. The big houses were only a small part of what was a small community, often of several hundred people, free and enslaved. The tour begins with Destrehan, a Creole-style house that had “garçonnières” added to each side in 1805 and was remodeled in the Greek Revival Style in 1840. It still maintains its huge double-pitched Creole roof. Eugene Cizek served as the restoration architect from 1978 to the present. The tour will then cross the river to Oak Alley and visit the antebellum Southern mansion, which has appeared in numerous movies. Participants will have lunch at Oak Alley Plantation’s restaurant, which serves traditional Cajun and Creole dishes. The tour will end with a visit to the grounds of Laura, a Creole Plantation, for which Cizek also served as restoration architect. This plantation consists of several houses, outbuildings, and slave cabins.

HOTEL INFORMATION Headquarters Hotel New Orleans Marriott at the Convention Center 859 Convention Center Blvd.

New Orleans, LA 70130 504.613.2888 800.305.6342 504.613.2890 (fax) www.sah.org, for a direct link to the hotel website and link to book your reservation online for the 2011 Annual Meeting.

The SAH room rate is $180, single or double occupancy, plus applicable taxes. This rate includes a $5.00 assessment fee to offset the Annual Meeting costs.

SAH has negotiated this special rate with the New Orleans Marriott at the Convention Center, based on a quota of rooms filled by SAH Annual Meeting attendees. Please do not use alternate booking sources (Expedia, etc.) to reserve your hotel accommodations, as your room will not be counted toward the required SAH quota. If the quota is not met, SAH will be liable for attrition fees. This could result in higher fees for future meetings.

Please make your reservations as early as possible, but no later than February 15, 2011. Due to the popularity of this meeting, SAH will not guarantee that your preferred room type will be available. SAH has anticipated a large number of participants and has secured enough rooms for the meeting. Reservations will be accepted based on availability at the time of booking. If the total number of allotted rooms sells out before February 15, 2011, SAH will post a list of alternate hotels in the area on the SAH website.

In order to support the meeting overall, SAH asks that you stay at the meeting hotel. Be sure to list any roommates. SAH will compare the hotel’s rooming lists with the SAH registration list. If SAH does not see the attendee’s name on the rooming list, SAH will research and determine if the attendee has paid the correct registration fee. There is an additional $100 registration fee for all attendees not staying at the meeting hotel or living outside a 75-mile radius of the meeting city. Staying at the headquarters hotels helps offset the expenses related to the Annual Meeting.

Check-in time: 3:00 p.m.

Check-out time: 12:00 p.m.
