Municipal Heritage Planning in Canada: A Profile of Ten Cities
The need to conserve physical evidence of the past or "heritage", in a changing urban environment, has manifest itself in a new aspect to municipal planning.
This thesis examines municipal heritage planning in Canada from the following perspectives:
(a) the events leading to and comprising municipal involvement in its heritage;
(b) the role of the heritage planner;
(c) the tools available to municipalities for heritage preservation. Based on the premise that the appointment of the heritage planner is a
significant point in the evolution of the planning profession and the conservation movement, the thesis focuses on those cities which have a heritage planner. A questionnaire was sent to sixteen cities where heritage activity was taking place. Ten of these qualified for inclusion in the analysis by virtue of having one or more Heritage Planners on staff.
While the primary jurisdiction for the regulation of heritage property rests with the Provincial Government, the provinces have recently given municipalities the power to protect their own cultural resources through designation. These powers are rarely sufficient and have compelled municipalities to use other tools to achieve protection either with or without designation. These mechanisms can range from "soft" incentives which require little commitment from the municipality in terms of time and money spent (for example, moral suasion), to "harder" mechanisms such as outright purchase.
The role of the Heritage Planner will continue to be the development and administration of these tools together with other heritage programs such as the Inventory and Evaluation of the city's cultural resources and the education of the public and private sectors about heritage preservation. A central conclusion of this thesis is that current municipal activity in heritage preservation is directed, in large part, towards ameliorating the negative economic consequences of heritage designation. More could be done by setting designation aside as a primary concern and using the existing tools at the municipality's disposal to encourage the private sector to undertake preservation activities. The opportunity for the Heritage Planner rests in using these tools and developing new ones. / Applied Science, Faculty of / Community and Regional Planning (SCARP), School of / Graduate

Recent landmarks: an analysis of Vancouver's program for commemorating modern architectureWickham, Andrea Lynne 05 1900 (has links)
The City of Vancouver has led North American cities in commemorating Modern
heritage. In 1990, City of Vancouver planners initiated the Recent Landmarks
study, thus launching a progressive, specialized program aimed at documenting
and conserving the city's post-war architecture. While this program has raised
awareness and catalogued a large stock of Modern resources, few of the
identified buildings have been protected with legal heritage designation. Thus it
seemed appropriate to explore Vancouver's Recent Landmarks program in this
thesis and assemble comparative information (from other jurisdictions) against
which to measure it.
Thus the primary purpose of this thesis is to point to contemporary heritage
conservation initiatives and programs in North America that are specifically
concerned with twentieth-century buildings, in order to inform heritage planning in
Vancouver. The secondary purpose is to amplify current efforts to broaden and
redefine the notion of structural heritage to include twentieth-century work.
This thesis surveyed representatives (i.e. civic planning or cultural/landmark
Department staff, and representatives of local chapters of DOCOMOMO, the
international organization formed to document and conserve the works of the
Modern movement) in Toronto, Victoria, New York, Los Angeles, and Phoenix.
The results of the thesis show that by 1999, all but one of the five surveyed North
American municipalities had addressed the issue of Modern heritage. However
none of the consulted cities had developed distinct programs to address this
resource. For example, while several cities reported listing Modern buildings on
their heritage inventories, none of the municipalities canvassed reported the
development of studies or inventories that were focused on post-war landmarks.
Thus from this information, it appears that the Recent Landmarks initiative in
Vancouver remains quite exceptional. This program has identified several (and
spurred the designation of some) significant Modern buildings, stimulated the
creation of reports and studies, and made strong attempts to engage the public.
In sum, the results gleaned from this thesis survey show that the Recent
Landmarks initiative remains a leader in the specialized realm of heritage
conservation for Modern architecture, and that many North American cities have
yet to match Vancouver's efforts. / Applied Science, Faculty of / Community and Regional Planning (SCARP), School of / Graduate

Solitude: identification of its furnishings from 1830 to 1880Yagow, Carol C. 07 July 2010 (has links)
Solitude, one of the original buildings on the campus of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, is a possible site for restoration because of its significance to the University and to the community. This study attempted to determine the most likely amount, type, style, and quality of furnishings used at Solitude between 1830 and 1880, when it was the home of Robert and Mary Preston, the last private owners.
To help identify and interpret furnishings for this home, several areas were researched: the history of the building including the remodeling done by Robert Preston, the lifestyle of the Prestons, the availability of goods in the Blacksburg area before and after the coming of the railroad, and an examination of existing documents, such as appraisements, that listed furnishings used by the Prestons and by other residents of Montgomery County.
An analysis of the findings showed that the furniture may have been a combination of older, locally made pieces, and newer, factory-made ones, some of which may have been in the Rococo Revival style. Compared with the other appraisements studied, the furnishings of the Prestons were moderately to highly priced, indicating that theirs was one of the more comfortable homes in the area. / Master of Science

Certified rehabilitation: a tool for the architectPhillips, Mary L. January 1985 (has links)
This thesis delineates how the process of "certified rehabilitation" can be applied by the architect to acquire tax savings and quality control on the rehabilitation of a historic building. Theory and principle are applied to a specific case. To strengthen the architect's and the planner's awareness of governmental guidelines, approaches are suggested to benefit the client and improve the potential for "adaptive reuse" with emphasis on lighting. This thesis shows, by example, how economics and building methods can enhance Historic Preservation. / Master of Architecture
