The very places that convey great achievements, the passage of time, and the stability of culture are frequently proving fragile against the backdrop of natural disaster, warfare, and civil and religious conflict. Join WMF for an evening of discovery about these struggles and efforts to protect and conserve these magnificent records of cultural history.

This lecture is part of AIA New York's Archtober, New York City's annual Architecture and Design Month.

All guests can enter a raffle. Prizes will be drawn after the talk. First prize is a one-year membership to WMF and a ticket to our Hadrian Gala After Party on October 22, a $250 value.
