Poster proposals for Rowhouse City are being accepted until June 30, 2022. All poster topics related to the symposium themes on the history and preservation of the rowhouse will be considered. Professionals and students are invited to submit. Posters will be displayed for both days of the conference in a specified viewing area. Prizes will be awarded to the top choices. For questions please contact pennhspv@design.upenn.edu.
Suggested Topics Include:
Materials: How were specific materials used in rowhouse construction selected? How did they change over time? What remediation techniques were utilized to address their deterioration?
Typologies: How did rowhouse typology change in time and by location within the recognized structure of common wall construction? What can these changes tell us about the preservation challenges and social life associated with them?
Mapping: How did the city grow and how were Philadelphia rowhouses modified over time and space to respond to local conditions? Are there relationships between location, density, community health, crime and threats to rowhouse preservation that can be predicted based on mapping criteria?
