OLLI Talks: World Heritage Architecture: Recognizing works of "Outstanding Universal Value" (DRAKE HALL)

There are over 950 buildings and sites of architectural importance on the most recent listing of UNESCO World Heritage Sites. This class will explore a small sampling of examples that illustrate the diversity of how civilizations and cultures have shaped the built environment in response to social, religious, economic, political and environmental conditions. 

Dr. Jim Rose is a retired architect and former professor and college administrator. He taught courses in architectural engineering, architectural history and architectural design. He directed a graduate program in historic preservation and conducted research in architectural conservation. He completed a sabbatical in Rome as the US delegate to the International Centre for the Study of the Preservation and Restoration of Cultural Property (ICCROM). A second sabbatical was spent teaching a course in Italian Renaissance architecture at the Loyola University of Chicago Rome Center.
