  • PITTSBURGH Art & Architecture in the Steel City with David J
    September 10–14, 2021 PITTSBURGH Art & Architecture in the Steel City with David J. Vater, RA Fallingwater Sunset at the West End Overlook / Jiuguang Wang PITTSBURGH: Art & Architecture in the Steel City September 10–14, 2021 This National Trust tour highlights the exceptional art and architecture of Pittsburgh, a 21st-century “Rust Belt” success story. Pittsburgh was the unquestioned steel capital of the world for most of the 20th century, and the resulting wealth produced a great cultural heritage with impressive architecture from the late 1800s and early 1900s still surviving. Even when the American steel industry collapsed in the 1970s and 1980s, Pittsburgh managed to reinvent itself as a leader in scientific and medical research. The result is a surprisingly young and vibrant city, with new architecture also well worth discovering. (left) The towering Cathedral of Learning at the University of Pittsburgh was built in the 1920s and 1930s as a beacon for education and an homage to the ‘Old World’ cultural roots of the city’s immigrant population represented in its uniquely designed and decorated Nationality Rooms. / Jiuguang Wang Travel with DAVID J. VATER, RA David Vater is a Pittsburgh native and his ancestors have lived in the region since the 1830s. He is president of his own architectural firm and has served on the Board of Directors of the AIA Pittsburgh’s Foundation for Architecture, the Friends of Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, the Pittsburgh History & Landmarks Foundation, the Society for the Preservation of the Duquesne Heights Incline, and Chatham Village Homes, Inc. In 1998 he authored the nomination that put Chatham Village Historic District on the National Register of Historic Places and assisted with the additional research that made it a National Historic Landmark in 2005.
