The 2024 Fitch Colloquium, Repairing Architecture Schools, is a collaborative effort between the GSAPP Historic Preservation Program and Places Journal that follows their eponymous article to spark a national conversation about how to rebalance architecture curricula in light of the increasing potential of the existing built environment in solving the intersecting crises of climate change and housing. Speakers include Erica Avrami, Nick Axel, Daniel Barber, Deborah Berke *, *Shumi Bose, Josephine Minutillo, Andrea Roberts, and Mireille Roddier.
Named for the founder of formal preservation education at Columbia University and in the United States, the James Marston Fitch Colloquium became an annual event in 2000. In a day-long colloquium, students, alumni, and guests hear speakers and engage in discussion over current issues in preservation— attempting to discover and define the leading edge of the discipline.
This event is free and open to the public
