This week's conversation is with Burt Pinnock. Burt is one of the most sought after preservation architects in Virginia - especially for memorialization work - and I am super grateful to have met him in recent years. We discuss his background and experiences growing up in Tuskegee, AL before moving north to southern Virginia. He has had a fascinating career so far with the opportunity to focus architectural conversations on the importance of contextualizing race and history, as well as the need for inclusive and collaborative approaches to memorialization.
