Explore the distinctive architecture of the Adirondack Park and the powerful relationship between its natural landscape and built environment. Drawing from her extensive research for The Adirondack Architecture Guide, architect and author Janet A. Null will examine how geography, natural resources, settlement, industry, tourism, and local craftsmanship have shaped the region’s architecture.
The program will venture beyond the iconic Great Camps and Adirondack Rustic architecture into the remarkable variety of buildings and structures found in the Park—from camps and hotels to civic buildings, churches, bridges, boathouses and other often-overlooked examples — while also discussing the unique mix of residents and outsiders who designed them. Along the way, participants will discover how native materials, regional building methods, and the Adirondacks’ unique history have created an architectural legacy inseparable from the landscape itself.
