Event Details

Join the Historic Resources Committee for a webinar series about documentation of historic resources in Virginia!

For decades, architecture students in Virginia schools have had the opportunity to learn about historic buildings and develop skills they will need to care for those buildings in their professional careers by taking a course in architectural measured drawings.  The AIA Virginia Historic Resources Committee is offering a series of lunchtime seminars on measured drawings, specifically focusing on the Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS) and the student measured drawings projects undertaken at Virginia schools.

Presenter:

John A. Burns, FAIA, FAPT, is a preservation architect and former National Park Service leader with more than five decades of service in cultural resource preservation. A Fellow of both the AIA and APTI, he is widely recognized for his contributions to historic preservation policy, documentation, and advocacy, including leadership roles with HABS/HAER/HALS and the Fairfax County Architectural Review Board.
