[Encore] Fictional History: Recognizing TV and Film Locations
In case you missed it, we’re re-releasing an episode from last season, chosen by our Save As intern, Emily Kwok. It’s an Emily’s Pick!
Should the Brady Bunch House be in the National Register of Historic Places? Why not? asks alum Jonathan Kaplan. In his master’s thesis, the TV writer-turned-heritage conservationist makes a case for designating sites specifically for their use in movies and TV shows.

Join us in the Upside Down for a chat with architect and alum Guadalupe Flores about his thesis, Deconstruction: A Tool for Sustainable Conservation. When a building can’t be saved, reusing the materials makes perfect sense. The concept of deconstruction certainly isn’t new. But how do we make the case for it in a disposable society—and make sure it’s used only as a last resort?
