Re: Pamela Jerome, AIA – Sponsorship for Elevation to Fellowship
Dear Ms. Nichols:
As a preservation and sustainability architect, the Past President of the Association for Preservation Technology International (APT) and the President of the Buffalo Architecture Center, it is my privilege to sponsor Pamela Jerome, the President of Architectural Preservation Studio, for nomination as a Fellow in the American Institute of Architects. Pamela and I are both graduates of the Master of Science in Historic Preservation program at Columbia University. We have known and worked with each other for almost twenty years, as members of the board of APT and as colleagues in the development of preservation theory for the conservation of twentieth century heritage.
Pamela is known internationally as a cultural heritage visionary who has developed the technical approach to the restoration and rehabilitation of some of the most significant sites in the world, from Frank Lloyd Wright’s Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and Fallingwater, to the Gilded Mansions in Newport, to World Heritage Sites in Yemen, Crimea and Egypt. Her inspired approaches to promoting new thinking in the philosophy of preservation approaches to 20th Century Heritage and archaeological sites, both ephemeral types of structures whose authenticity has been debated by preservation leaders around the world, has changed the way that architects use theories and policies to frame their preservation approaches and designs. Her publications, teaching and development of symposia have certainly informed my own practice. She advised me on advocacy approaches in 2015 when I was attempting to save a Paul Rudolph complex from demolition in Buffalo and she reviewed her innovative designs for the windows and curtain wall at the Guggenheim with me when I was developing possible approaches for a modern preservation project in Buffalo.
Pamela’s guest-edited APT Bulletin on authenticity is one of the most popular issues in its 40-year history, which makes it one of the most significant pieces of international preservation research in the past decade. This Bulletin does not just sit on a shelf but is used by preservation architects around the world to inform their own design thinking. She has shared her technical and design knowledge and expertise freely with developing nations through her volunteer efforts for ICOMOS, UNESCO and the Global Heritage Fund. She has spent decades advising the Yemeni government on the protection and preservation of its mud- brick monuments. And she has trained graduate students and professionals for over twenty years.
I am honored to consider Pamela a colleague and friend and it is with great confidence and honor that I sponsor Ms. Pamela Jerome, AIA for Fellow in the American Institute of Architects. I can think of no AIA member today focusing on preservation and cultural heritage who is more deserving of the elevation to Fellow.
Very Truly Yours,
Barbara A. Campagna, FAIA, LEED AP BD+C Principal and President, APT International (2005-2007)
