Remembering the forgotten and the excluded Historians debate architecture without architects

Architects and history: The Society of Architectural Historians 60th Annual Meeting, 11–15 April 2007, Pittsburgh PA

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  25 October 2007

Extract

This was a big, serious conference in a big, serious city. Architectural historians from North America and around the globe gathered to discuss their work and to look at buildings together. Yet despite the generosity with which the American Institute of Architects handed out CPD points for every paper and tour attended, there were not many architects there; the conference remained substantially a forum for professional architectural historians and their research students to talk shop. It's a pity – this kind of conference represents an excellent opportunity for architects to take their place at the heart of the debate on history and conservation.
