For nearly half a century, Robert E. Stipe influenced the course of historic preservation in the United States as a writer, teacher, advocate and mentor. On Friday (April 25), writers, business leaders, and educators will discuss historic preservation at the local level, in North Carolina and in the United States and beyond in a symposium titled “Retrospective on the Modern Preservation Movement” at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s School of Government. Sessions run from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in Room 2603 of the School’s Knapp-Sanders Building. Stipe, who died in September 2007, was an emeritus professor of design in the landscape architecture program at N.C. State University. He also served as co-editor of The American Mosaic: Preserving a Nation’s Heritage. Participants will explore how historic preservation has changed over the last 50 years, how Stipe contributed to the field, and where preservation goes from here.
