Later legislation expanded these protections and, crucially, provided for the public \u201cenjoyment\u201d of federal lands. With its emphasis on recreation, the founding of the National Park Service in 1916 officially oriented the parks to the people. While they had long been places of contemplation, enjoyment, and solace, Title 16 made the parks a manifestation of the nation\u2019s humanity, and a legacy to be preserved \u201cunimpaired for the enjoyment of future generations.\u201d But in the early 20th century, many of the national parks were remote and difficult to get to, making them accessible only to the ruggedly independent. This has changed, of course. The National Parks recorded 237,064,332 recreational visits in 2020, which entailed more than a billion hours of enjoyment.<\/p>\n<table style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;\" border=\"1\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;\">\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">While a single building cannot heal racial and climatic crises, architectural processes\u2014construction methods, material ethics, and project phasing\u2014can effect institutional change and promote justice.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;\">\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Stephanie Lloyd (MArch \u201922) and Ada Thomas (MLA \u201921)on their proposal for a distributed system of gathering centers integrated into the park\u2019s ecological systems for \u201cCan Parkitecture Heal?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">At the same time, the park architecture\u2014based largely on late-19th-century principles of Andrew Jackson Downing, the Olmsteds, and the arts and crafts movement\u2014became widely familiar. The craggy masonry, rugged carpentry, and simple forms seem naturally compatible with the wild settings of the parks. American \u201cparkitecture,\u201d as it is often known, is deeply appealing, almost symbolic of vacationing, adventure, and enjoyment of nature. It also recalls the social contract of the New Deal\u2014park construction helped raise thousands out of poverty after the Great Depression.<\/p>\n<p>However, even as the parks welcome millions of visitors, not everyone feels equally at home in them. As GSD Professor in Practice Jeanne Gang and Instructor Claire Cahan point out in the brief for their Autumn 2020 studio, \u201cCan Parkitecture Heal?,\u201d the legacy of the parks is not all positive: \u201cWhile these places and their beneficial qualities are intended to be accessible to everyone,\u201d they write, \u201cthe parks continue to struggle with inclusivity and their histories of racism, including displacement of Native peoples and segregation.\u201d Rustic park visitor centers and other facilities offer easy, welcoming access to many people; however, for others the close symbolic association of parkitecture with the history of the parks can tie it just as closely to these social ills. A central challenge of the studio, then, was to seek ways to \u201credefine\u201d parkitecture, Gang explains, and to make park buildings \u201cmore accessible, more inviting, more welcoming.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 100%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-2' class='gallery galleryid-10 gallery-columns-1 gallery-size-full'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/renaissancenow-cai.org\/wp\/covid-19-guidance-for-the-harvard-graduate-school-of-design-community-6\/dalman\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"679\" height=\"678\" src=\"https:\/\/renaissancenow-cai.org\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/DALMAN.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-2-119\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-2-119'>\n\t\t\t\tLA DALLMAN Architect&#8217;s Teweles and Brandeis Grain Elevator is one of six honorees in Architect magazine&#8217;s 68th Annual Progressive Architecture Awards.\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<table style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;\" border=\"1\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;\">\n<p><div id=\"attachment_120\" style=\"width: 361px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-120\" class=\"size-full wp-image-120\" src=\"https:\/\/renaissancenow-cai.org\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/article.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"351\" height=\"327\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-120\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">As part of the P\/A Award, the Teweles and Brandeis Grain Elevator project is featured on the cover of Architect magazine\u2019s March 2021 issue.<\/p><\/div><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;\">\u201cAlong with our client and engineering team, we are honored to receive such important recognition for this project.
