Elements is a series centered on architectural preservation. These discussions look at how preservation of the building trades, assure historic skills and craftsmanship continue to be taught, valued, understood and integrated into modern building design in the 21st century. Some webinars will also consider examples from new developments in building resources and materials.

This discussion will focus on the material of brick, featuring panelists Calder Loth and Matt Webster. Loth and Webster will discuss the history of brick design and techniques in preservation. “When we look at a historic building, we’re rightly struck by it’s age and character, yet we pay too little attention to the individual components that create the whole. The effort spent crafting and assembling brick walls can tell us much about 18th century life” (Matt Webster, Stories In The Walls). And finally, in what ways can the building trades assure the historic skills of brick craftsmanship continue to be valued and integrated into the future?
