| Historic Reconstruction Projects. The Architecture & Design Committee will play an intergal role in the creation of our Historic Renovation Projects. There are many collapsed Dutch farmhouses made of stone scattered throughout the mountains of North Sulawesi, particularly in the Minahasa region, and abundant but rotting colonial wooden structures throughout Haiti and Guyana. Many of these are over 200 years old. One of the projects of some of our older, Arts & Crafts (vocational)-track students will be trained in how to rebuild these historic structures on campus. Students in our construction and engineering classes will not only be able to learn construction techniques with indigenous materials, but will also be trained in contemporary America and European building techniques. All students, faculty, and guests will be able to witness traditional colonial architecture and have a better understanding of the eighteenth century Dutch colonial presence in Indonesia and British colonial presence in Guyana. In Guyana, the Center for Architectural Heritage Research and Documentation of the University of Georgetown, supported by UNESCO, is working to preserve the tre-mendous architectural heritage of the only English-speaking country in South America, home to what the New York Times has described as �some of the most exuberant Victorian architecture in tropical and sub-tropical climes.� |
