SYLLABUS
Purpose
This course serves as an introduction to the theory and practice of historic preservation.
Central to this introduction will be the consideration of historic preservation as: (1) a
concept of resource conservation and utilization, now gaining increasing acceptance
within our society, (2) a process which can be employed to identify and preserve
architectural, landscape, and environmental resources within the context of a single site,
neighborhood, community, or region, (3) a movement of increasing interest to
individuals, elected officials, and government agencies at all levels of government: local,
state, and national, (4) a profession through which those trained to do so may assist
society in making the right choices in planning our environments of the future and,
subsequently, determining the quality-of-life those environments provide to those who
live in, or near, them, and (5) a philosophy which represents the latest environmental
ethic!!!
Objectives
To analyze the purpose and goals of preservation as an ethic
To briefly survey the evolution of preservation philosophy in the
United States.
To introduce architectural forms and style- and related vocabulary.
To review case histories of preservation successes and failures.
To investigate the various planning tools available for effective
preservation.
To briefly survey the economic, legal, aesthetic, and sociological aspects of
preservation.
to explore the relationships between preservation, real estate, and
property rights
To identify the role of citizen organizations, governmental agencies, design
professionals, and preservation professionals in implementing preservation
projects and/or programs
To initiate, within the student, a life-long inquiry about how to best accomplish
the goals of historic preservation as a preservation professional.
Special Requirements
(1)
Special School-Sponsored or other Lectures: Dates, Times, Locations, to be
announced in class.
(2)
Lab Days- on specified Mondays, for 6 Architectural I.D. Strolls & special events
(3)
Practicums to consist of:
a- architectural identification (ID) assignments (lab day exercises)
b- architectural ID - individual building descriptions
c- historic building research assignments to determine:
1- occupant history (Oct. 3)
2- chain of title (Nov. 4)
3- written building description (preliminary: Nov.11; final:Dec. 1)
4- estimated date of construction with rationale for estimate (Dec. 2)
(4)
Reading Assignments: There are two categories of readings for this course:
(1) Text Readings- those readings from the texts for the course as indicated
under Course Outline and Reading Assignments.
(2) Reserve Readings- those readings from books on reserve for your
use, in the Owens Resource Center in Caldwell Hall, as indicated, (in parenthesis),
under Course Outline and Reading Assignments.
Note: the “recent” (mid to late 1960s) emergence of historic preservation as an
area of ideological, academic, professional, and “public sector” concern is reflected by
the paucity of books dealing with preservation history and philosophy. The Reserve
Readings reflect many of the first wave of books and while they may appear to be
saying the same thing (and, in that way, may seem to be redundant), they are listed to
illustrate the range of preservation viewpoints available on selected subject areas and to
provide the opportunity for you to become acquainted with the literature of the
preservation field. You should familiarize yourself with all of these books. An additional
advantage to becoming familiar with these writings would be the identification of
opportunities for development of new material for publication to enlarge and expand the
range of books and viewpoints focused upon historic preservation and its various
issues and concerns.
(5)
Topical Essays:
Two essays will be required. Both essays should be
a minimum of 6 pages in length as measured by material which is typed and
double-spaced. It is required that essays be typed. Essays that are less than six pages
in length will receive a grade penalty of (10) ten points. The essays will be on assigned
topics as follows:
Essay # 1, due Mon., Sept. 19 will be on the subject of “Why Preserve?”
This effort should be considered as a casual essay that will provide you the opportunity
to explore and/or discuss the rationale for preservation, based on your personal opinion
or that of others. Point Value: 500 points. Please be advised that it is anticipated that
your essay may be posted on our College’s website next April as a part of the
celebration of “April is Preservation Month @ UGA, 2012
Essay # 2, due Wed., Nov 9, will be focused upon “Public Policy
Initiatives for Environmental Quality.” This is to be a more “polished” work, as
compared to your first essay (you might think of it in terms of a term paper), one you
would be willing to submit as a conference paper or for publication in our College’s
Georgia Landscape or the National Trust’s Forum Journal, utilizing (Turabia) standards.
For this essay you may evaluate one or more existing public policy initiatives or you
may identify one or more areas of concern to preservationists that, in your opinion, need
additional public policy attention. In addition to the texts and reserved readings for this
course, the books: Egotopia, and James Kunstler’s recent books: The Geography of
Nowhere (1993) and Home From Nowhere (1996), are to be considered as a “point of
departure” for the development of this essay. Subsequently, all of the essays will be
placed in a Reserve Notebook, on the reserve shelf for this class in the Owens
Resource Center as a means of sharing the different points-of-view in the class.
Point Value: 500 points.
(6) Personal Journal Essays: a total of five, to be handed in -on Wednesdays-of
those weeks when one is required. (See Summary Due Dates Schedule). Each essay
shall be a minimum of one typed page and shall be a reflection of your preservation
thoughts and observations during the time since your last essay submission.
(7) Field Trip to Savannah: Wednesday, October 5th through Saturday Noon, Oct.
8th. You will be required to submit a journal and Field Exercises for this trip due Friday,
Oct. 14 to Donna Gabriel. Your journal submission must be typed. Hand-written journal
entries will not be accepted. A guide for the development of your fieldtrip journal
will be provided within the trip booklet and must be followed to secure credit for
this course requirement. In the event you cannot participate in the field trip, an
alternative paper, due the last day of class, is required. The estimated individual
expense of this trip, based upon shared travel and lodging, is $195. This figure
includes food at $15 per day, but does not include entertainment, souvenirs, or
shopping expenses.
(8)
All assignments to be handed in must be typed. Pale printed papers that will
present a challenge to the instructor’s diminishing eyesight will not be accepted.
(9) Essays are not returned. If you desire to have a copy of your paper, and you
do not have it on disc, please make one before handing in the original copy. To provide
feedback, on Topical Essays, an e-mailed grade and any comments will be provided
by the instructor.
(10) You will receive written assignment statements for all assignments not detailed
in this document, for example the assignment for “Arch ID Descriptions.”
Note: In addition to the Special Requirements listed above, there will be four
quizzes, as noted in the Course Outline. Two of these quizzes, given in two
parts (Quizes 3 & 4), will be on the 108 terms that make up the Glossary of
Architectural Terms, included in the text, Preservation Primer. (Primer)
Special Opportunities
Many of the field assignment of this course will present you with the opportunity
to become familiar with Athens and its various resources. As you pursue your various
assignments, the instructor will be especially interested in your identification (along with
a street address and a digital photo) on a weekly basis (or whenever they are
discovered) of the following: (1) the best examples of house types or styles, (2) both
good and bad examples of “infill” buildings, and (3) examples of any building which can
be described as a “hideosity.”
Attendance Policy
(1) All students are expected to attend all class meetings unless they must be
absent because of: (1) documented medical reasons, (2) family crises, or (3)
authorized university activities. In the event you must be absent for one of
these reasons, please notify Donna Gabriel @ 542-4720
(donnag@uga.edu) before you miss class and bring official documentation
to the instructor when you next attend class. Students who cannot provide
this documentation will be dismissed from the class with a grade of “WF.”
Roll call is the first order of business in each class meeting. If you are not
present for roll call you will be considered absent. Due to congested traffic
conditions, you will need to allow adequate time for travel to campus whether
by automobile, bus, or foot.
(2)
HAND-OUTS will be on file in Donna’s office by calendar date. Please see
her, or her assistant, for your copy, citing the course number and date of
your absence if hand-outs are distributed on the day of your absence.
(3)
Make-Up Policy:
In the event you are unable to take an exam, or quiz, when it is scheduled and
your absence is one that qualified as an excused absence under the three categories
stated in the Attendance Policy, you will be required to take the exam, or quiz, you have
missed no later than the third calendar day after your return.
Class Meetings/Lab Meetings
Classes meet for three fifty-minute periods per week, with the exception of those
weeks with a Monday lab period.(usually weeks 8-15). Lab periods will add an
additional fifty-minute period, on those Mondays with Architectural IDs and/or special
local field trips. Any necessary variations to this pattern will be announced in class.
Office Hours
For those whose questions cannot be answered during class, or who have a
special problem or concern needing attention, the instructor will be available two times
each week for “unscheduled walk-in appointments.” To see Prof. Waters at these
times, please come to his office at Lumpkin House/Founders Memorial Garden and
knock on the white door beside the parking area: Monday Afternoons 3:00-4:00pm,
and Friday Morning (right after class) 10:15-11:15am. To schedule appointments
for any other time, please contact Prof. Waters by email and he will respond to set
