Assigned Books Tyler, Historic Preservation McAlester, Field Guide To American Architecture I will give reading assignments during the course. Assignments Historic Preservation is a multi-disciplinary field that can only be learned by applying historic preservation tools to practical situations. This class will have a unique opportunity to work closely with the City of Charlotte in assisting with the implementation of a plan to "brand" the Beatties Ford Road Corridor as an historic area. To achieve this objective the class will be broken into three separate groups with specific assignments. The grade for each group will be determined by the quality of their end product. Group One. Neighborhood Research Group. This group will do intensive research on specific properties in the Beatties Ford Road Corridor. The buildings selected will have to have had no intensive research done on them before. The end product will be a series of reports on these properties that highlight the historic significance of each. An online and a printed version will be required. Group Two. Neighborhood Planning Group. This group will develop a comprehensive preservation plan for the Beatties Ford Road Corridor. They will determine what properties they believe qualify for historic landmark designation, local historic district designation, or listing in the National Register of Historic Places. Justifications for inclusion will have to be included. An online and a printed version will be required. Group Three. Educational Video Group. This group will develop a video highlighting the historic significance of the Beatties Ford Road Corridor, discussing the challenges to the corridor, and explaining how it can be revitalized. An online and a DVD version will be required. All Projects Are Due On April 29th.Interesting Opportunities.
