to take the first major step in understanding the diverse and

FAQ: This series "(five episodes, ten hours) will tell the 
human history of five of the nationís most important and most 
heavily visited National Parks (Yellowstone, Yosemite, Grand Canyon, 
Acadia, and Great Smoky Mountains) and the unforgettable Americans who 
made them possible. Set against some of the most beautiful landscapes 
on earth, each parkís story is filled with incidents and characters 
as gripping and fascinating as American history has to offer. Woven 
into the series will also be a broader, evolving story of the very idea 
of National Parks, as uniquely an American concept as jazz, baseball, 
and the Declaration of Independence as well as the expanding, constantly 
changing National Parks system (encompassing stories from other parks) 
and the growing role they all have come to play in our nation's sense 
of itself, its past, and its future."

by the National Park Service, The Cultural Landscape Foundation, University 
of Virginia, Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy, George Wright Society, 
National Parks Conservation Association, and the Van Alen Institute. 
A conference in two 
parts examining the design of buildings and landscapes in regional, 
state, and national parks. This paper will re-contextualize Neutra’s 
monumental vision for the Cyclorama Center both within the scope of 
the Mission 66 building program and, more specifically, within the memorial 
landscape at Gettysburg. I will argue that this building is an integral 
part of the commemorative history of the battlefield, not unlike the 
many statues and markers on the site, and deserving of landmark status. 
My account will supplement current scholarship on Mission 66 by drawing 
upon Neutra’s personal papers and original notes on the project 
held at the archives of the University of California in Los Angeles.
 "Survival 
by Design: Nationalizing Modernism in the Name of Preservation." 
International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS), International 
Scientific Committee on 20th Century Heritage (ISC20C), Joint ISC 
Meeting and Symposium, Chicago, Illinois, June 21-23, 2007. Identification, Advocacy, and Protection of Post-World War II Heritage 
Session; S. J. Kelley and T. G. Harboe co-editors. "Preserving 
structures from the recent past is the latest, and perhaps one of the 
most contentious, frontiers in our field. Unfortunately, modernism is 
often the loser in the public relations of historic preservation. A 
troubling gap exists between the academic understanding of a modern 
building and the public perception of its place in the continuum of 
architectural history. Professionals today rely too heavily on the habit 
of describing modern architecture from its roots up – as an offshoot 
of early twentieth century European works by leading architects such 
as Le Corbusier and Mies van der Rohe – to provide a quick and 
simple context for a general audience. Lacking a relevant local context, 
most community-sponsored evaluations of a modern building’s significance 
tend to be guided by subjective aesthetic analysis and misguided generalizations. 
The buildings are too often deemed failures, miscreants worthy not of 
praise but of demolition. My paper explores the persistent public reluctance 
to acknowledge modernism's significance in our architectural past and 
seeks strategies to re-contextualize modern design within nationalist 
and regionalist idioms. This type of thoroughly researched 'people’s 
history' for a troubled structure can build allegiances for preservation, 
inspire a community to embrace historic architecture, and counter the 
cultural amnesia that dooms historically significant, yet misunderstood, 
buildings of the recent past."
 "Misfits 
of Modernism." Speaker at the National Trust for Historic 
Preservation, National Preservation Conference, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, 
November 4, 2006. Session covered by Diana Nelson Jones of the Pittsburgh Post Gazette 
("Razing 
vs. Preserving Debated in Mock Trials"). From the NTHP program: 
"Preserving the recent past increasingly means saving places that 
came about at the expense of earlier landmarks, including those destroyed 
by urban renewal and highway building in the 1950s and 1960s. Conflicting 
and sometimes painful histories of buildings from the recent past, and 
public attitudes toward them, can cause challenges for preservationists. 
Who decides what is significant and worth saving versus what is expendable? 
Learn how you can effectively make a case and build a defense for sites 
with difficult histories." Other speakers at session: Dan Becker, 
Executive Director, Raleigh Historic Districts Commission; Dorothy Guzzo, 
Deputy State Historic Preservation Officer, New Jersey Historic Preservation 
Office; Charles A. Birnbaum, coordinator of the Historic Landscape Initiative, 
a program of the National Park Service Heritage Preservation Services 
Program. Moderator: Jeanne Lambin, Field Services Coordinator, Wisconsin

French mourned the loss of legitimate pieces of Charlottesville
