Society of Architectural Historians

Club Description

UVASAH is the oldest student-run chapter of the Society of Architectural Historians. It serves as a social and scholastic link between the faculty and students of UVA's Department of Architectural History, which is the oldest such department in the nation. In this capacity, UVASAH hosts lectures by distinguished scholars, coordinates guided trips to historic sites, arranges social events for faculty and students, and provides leadership and feedback on the changing discourse of our discipline.Traditionally, the Architectural History Department has consisted of friends and colleagues who are stewards and scholars of architecture, the built environment, historic preservation, and cultural landscape studies.  The collective goal of UVASAH is to continue to create an open, trusting, inclusive, and enlightening dialogue between students, faculty, and staff as we continue to elevate and open the discipline for more inclusive conversations and connections.
