The Fitch Colloquium Beyond the Five Boroughs: International Preservation Insights Wood Auditorium, Avery Hall, 1172 Amsterdam Avenue As Columbia University's contribution to the Landmarks 50 celebration-the recognition of the fiftieth anniversary of the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission-this year's Fitch Colloquium looks beyond the laws of New York City to preservation frameworks elsewhere in the world. With the understanding there much New Yorkers can learn from international practice and problems, we gather leading preservationists from London, Los Angeles, Mumbai, Oslo, Puerto Rico, and Rio de Janeiro, to speak about their local perspectives. An introduction provided by Will Cook of the National Trust for Historic Preservation's legal staff will set up the discussion for comparative practices around the country and world. 10:00am Introduction Andrew Dolkart Director, Historic Preservation Program, Columbia University GSAPP 10:15am Creative Approaches to Using Law to Protect Historic Places Will Cook Associate General Counsel, National Trust for Historic Preservation 10:45am Preserving Historic Los Angeles Ken Bernstein Manager, Los Angeles Office of Historic Resources 11:15am Remembering & Forgetting: Historic Preservation in Puerto Rico Nadya Nenadich Academic Coordinator, Adjunct Associate Professor Historic Preservation Program, Pratt Institute 11:45am Discussion Led by Anthony C.
