Watch “Interpreting Architectural Ruins”


This webinar looks at sites where ruins are conserved in different ways. Elizabeth Judd of Rosewell Plantation and Josh Stutz of Friends of James River Park foundation provide fascinating insights on the reasons to preserve a ruin, the ways it is interpreted, its relationship to its landscape, and why we value ruins in today’s culture.
