Architecture Specialty Group The mission of the Architecture Specialty Group (ASG) is to ensure the best possible care for immovable cultural properties such as buildings, monuments, outdoor sculptures and heritage sites. The care of these sites takes into consideration their special needs and complex treatments. This website intends to promote discussion of issues pertaining to the field of architectural conservation. Following this effort, the ASG is planning to broaden information available online. Services, including publications by ASG and podcasts related to historic preservation and architectural conservation are now possible. The ASG encourages qualified members to apply for Professional Associate or Fellow status. |
