- Description:
- This session presents two different research perspectives on fire lookouts in Idaho. The first, by Michael Decker, focuses on his fieldwork as both a firewatcher and a researcher, conducting interviews with U.S. Forest Service staff and collecting photographic documentation of lookouts in Idaho’s most remote forest areas that were used in the creation of the library-supported digital scholarship project, Keeping Watch. The second presentation, by Andrea Alberto Dutto, offers reflections on the evolution of lookout towers as an architectural typology, stemming from a design studio at the College of Art and Architecture's architecture department and further developed through bibliographic research. Together, the two presentations highlight the value of lookout towers as historical heritage in forest management and as a resource for future practices in recreation and forest preservation.
