Cultural Elements in Our Historic District

by

By JANIE O’ROURKE
Los Alamos

As part of my thesis work for a Masters Degree in Community and Regional Planning in 2001, I created a conceptual plan for the Los Alamos Historic District entitled Historic Pathways: Connecting People to Places Past and Present. 

The goal of the plan was to develop a set of ideas and design concepts that could improve the experience of visitors to the historic district. The three main objectives were to: 1. identify the period of origin of existing historic elements; 2. visually define the boundaries of the district; and 3. design a safe and continuous Read More
