This is one of four parallel sessions taking place from 8:30 AM - 9:45 AM on Thursday June 2.
Speakers have been asked to pre-record their presentations and we will be releasing these videos to registrants after the Symposium so that you can watch sessions you weren't able to attend.
The Freeze-Thaw Cycle of Federal Landscapes
Speakers will address the issues related to the creation of National Park sites, the re-use of these sites for other public purposes, and the conversion of architecturally significant landscapes to National Parks. Topics include the role of Modernism in the design of these sites and the impact of Mission 66 on subsequent projects.
