Hosted by the ICAA New England Chapter
Join celebrated architect and Fellow of the American Institute of Architects Patrick Ahearn for a discussion of his second published book History Reinterpreted which details the dramatic transformation of the 1871 Myles Standish Hotel into a grand dame seaside estate. By touching upon inspiring past works, he explains how the preservation of an idea as opposed to a precise structure can tug at the sentiments of memory, present an authentic attitude, and elicit a nostalgic response. As a case study in narrative-driven design, the book demonstrates how historically motivated renovation can be brilliantly achieved without sacrificing any contemporary convenience. A reception and book signing will follow.
