RENEW TAMPA 2010
What is it?
What’s the greenest approach to renovating your bungalow?
How can you incorporate solar technology in restoring a cigar factory?
Where are your financial opportunities in renewing a historic
downtown property?
All of these questions and more will be explored during a weekend-long
conference—RENEW TAMPA 2010 ganized by the Tampa Chapter of
the American Institute of Architects’ Architectural Heritage Committee
and partner organizations
.
The weekend will explore the intersection of architectural heritage,
green technology, and building restoration. It will include a
comprehensive, practical program of educational lectures, how-to
workshops, industry exhibitors, and historic neighborhood tours—
all grounded in promoting good stewardship of historic structures,
today and tomorrow.
In The Historic Tampa Trollry Barn, home owners, architects, green-
conscious builders, cultural historians, real estate developers,
and community visionaries will gather. Together they will learn
how to formulate plans for maintaining historic homes,
discover collaborative strategies for preserving landmark buildings,
and explore environmentally-sound technologies for making our
community greener. The conference will also include exhibitors
and offer valuable info about local resources,
both public and private, that can help homeowners, developers,
and city officials achieve their goals.
Framed by a yesterday-today-tomorrow philosophy, the conference
will challenge participants to shape tomorrow’s ideal built environment
through architectural preservation and design that is environmentally
sensitive.
