In this lecture Mr. Kemnitzer will share with us experiences during his 40 year career as a building preservation specialist. He will address the preservation of monuments in Washington DC, review the assessment procedure for existing conditions of buildings, and explain the consequent recommendations for their preservation. In addition he will share his work experience with the US Department of State in helping to establish maintenance plans for certain historically and culturally significant high value properties and their collections.
David A. Kemnitzer, AIA, has more than 40 years’ experience with historic preservation and existing building architecture, practicing as a Principal in his own firm and with one of the largest architectural/engineering firms in the country. In 2000 he re-established his own firm to provide services for historic and existing buildings.
A natural affinity for history led him to a specialization in the practice of historic preservation architecture. His expertise has led to project assignments at Washington, DC’s Lincoln Memorial, Jefferson Memorial, United States Capitol, Old Executive Office Building, Commerce Department Building, General Post Office Building, Memorial Amphitheater at Arlington National Cemetery. International projects include work in Paris, London, Rome, Prague, Buenos Aires and Istanbul.
