πŸ“£ NEW WEBINAR! APT and the Association for Preservation Technology, Northeast Chapter present Trusting the Process: New Techniques for Reconstructing an Ancient Egyptian Palace

πŸ—“οΈ Tuesday, July 14
πŸ•‘ Noon - 1 p.m. ET

Since 2019, conservators at the Penn Museum have been working towards the reinstallation of monumental architectural elements from the palace of 19th Dynasty Egyptian Pharaoh Merenptah (reigned ca. 1213–1203 BCE). The largest structure, known as the Coronation Chapel, consists of a set of nearly 30-ft tall limestone columns and gateway pylons, which were previously installed in the 1926 iteration of the Egyptian Galleries. Due to building limitations at the time, the columns and pylons were installed at half of their original height and have never been displayed in their true configuration.

The presentation will discuss the process of scaling up capacity, bridging varied conservation concerns, and applying collaborative solutions for this monumental stone installation project.

Speakers:
πŸ”Ή Julia Commander, Sachs Senior Egyptian Collections Conservator, Penn Museum
πŸ”Ή Gillian Love, Senior Project Manager, Simpson Gumpertz & Heger

APT joined several lead heritage organizations on May 27 as participants in the Amicus Curiae brief to the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, supporting the National Trust for Historic Preservation's case opposing the White House Ballroom proposal. We encourage you to read the brief in its entirety to understand the clear reasons why the construction activities are unlawful.

They are, in summary:
1️⃣ The case is not about national security.
2️⃣ The Constitution assigns to Congress the responsibility of controlling federal property, not the President.

Additionally, the White House has several legal review and approval requirements for alterations and changes and an extensive series of planning and approval processes that have not been followed.

The Federal government and its leaders should uphold the highest standards for the protection of historic resources and the processes in place to assure their preservation for future generations. We should be able to point to how iconic landmarks such as the White House are cared for as the best examples of preservation work.

The signatories include:
* The American Institute of Architects (AIA)
* American Society of Landscape Architects
* APT - The Association for Preservation Technology International
* The Coalition to Protect Americas National Parks
* Committee of 100 on the Federal City
* The Cultural Landscape Foundation
* DC Preservation League
* National Mall Coalition
* National Preservation Partners Network
* Olmsted Network
