he Coronado Historical Association in conjunction with the World Design Capital and the Coronado Arts Commission, invites you to join us for this free lecture to learn about the "Future of Historic Buildings in Tijuana".
Tijuana has been called “the House of all people” and the “most visited border city in the world” where new communities form every day because of intense migration. In this quickly growing city with its bustling neighborhoods of free trade, older buildings from the modernist era become hard to preserve. These architectural gems are often abandoned and then become obsolete or torn down....
Unfortunately, urban development, economic forces, and ineffective laws prevent preservationists from protecting Tijuana’s significant past, its tiled arcades and historically significant landmarks are at further risk. As an advocate for historic conservation, public official, and academic in historic preservation, Maria Curry will discuss the challenges to safeguarding the splendor of Tijuana’s architectural gems and local memory of bygone days.
