Strategies for Cultural and Architectural Preservation
Between November 5 and November 14, 2021, we host with MAS Context the digital screening of Battleship Berlin, a documentary by Nathan Eddy.
Elizabeth Blasius, Nathan Eddy, and Mark Pasnik will each discuss the strategies they use to raise awareness, celebrate, and fight for significant structures of our built environment. Books, films, tours, writings and other initiatives have the potential to inform and change minds and policies. Whether with architectural or cultural significance (or both), these structures play an important role in the everyday life of the city and its residents.
