Participe à 1 Session

Professor Thomas Durant Visser is the director of the Historic Preservation Program in the Department of History at the University of Vermont in Burlington, Vermont, USA. He has taught courses there since 1985 on such topics as researching historic buildings and sites, historic preservation planning and policy, architectural conservation, history of American building technology, and other historic preservation topics. As a recipient of a National Endowment for the Arts grant award, much of Professor Visser's scholarly research has focused on vernacular architecture and heritage building features. His award-winning Field Guide to New England Barns and Farm Buildings was published by the University Press of New England. His latest book, Porches of North America, also published by the University Press of New England, examines how this remarkable building feature in its many forms and uses has evolved in the United States and Canada.
