Talk | Experts Discuss The Role of Archives in Design
Enjoy a moderated discussion with Ken Smith NA, landscape architect and newly elected National Academician, and Thaïsa Way, PhD, Director of Garden and Landscape Studies at Dumbarton Oaks Research Library and Collection. Focusing on the changing role of archives in an age of digital abundance, Smith and Way discuss how the shaping of archives can ensure their ongoing role as both generative and commemorative tools. With the capacity to capture the designer, the location, and its communities, archives can act as a resource for future thinking and design. As Smith archives his practice in landscape architecture, the conversation will explore what archives reveal about individuals, projects, and the cultural moments in which they are made. The discussion invites a deeper consideration of archival work as a way to interpret legacy, challenge assumptions, and imagine new directions for design.

Author Reading | Inside Scoop with Nonfiction Authors: The Influence of John Adams
A conversation with Dr. Lindsay M. Chervinsky, presidential historian, writer, and speaker. She is the Executive Director of the George Washington Presidential Library. Chervinsky will be speaking about her book: Making the Presidency: John Adams and the Precedents That Forged the Republic. An authoritative account of the second president of the United States that shows how John Adams's leadership and legacy defined the office for those who followed and ensured the survival of the American republic. Making the Presidency is an authoritative exploration of the second US presidency, a period critical to the survival of the American republic. One of the most qualified presidents in American history, he had been a legislator, political theorist, diplomat, minister, and vice president--but he had never held an executive position. Instead, the quixotic and stubborn Adams would rely on his ideas about executive power, the Constitution, politics, and the state of the world to navigate the hurdles of the position. He defended the presidency from his own often obstructionist cabinet, protected the nation from foreign attacks, and forged trust and dedication to election integrity and the peaceful transfer of power between parties, even though it cost him his political future. Offering a portrait of one of the most fascinating and influential periods in US history, Making the Presidency is a must-read for anyone interested in the evolution of the presidency and the creation of political norms and customs at the heart of the American republic.
