Director and Professor of Historic Preservation at Columbia University’s Graduate School of Architecture, Planning, and Preservation, Jorge Otero-Pailos is an architect, artist, and theorist. Jorge will discuss his approach to art as a method of experimental preservation and argue for its relevance in imagining a future for the existing built environment centered on mutual care. Following the lecture, there will be a brief book presentation of Jorge Otero-Pailos's new edited volume Historic Preservation Theory: An Anthology, Readings from the 18th to the 21st Century in the form of a discussion between Keith Mitnick, Mireille Roddier, and Claire Zimmerman.
