Professor Dupont established UTSA’s Center for Cultural Sustainability in 2011 considering the heritage of people as a core element of a sustainable future. Projects have included evaluations of historic buildings; feasibility plans to save living heritage; support to city leaders and community groups grappling with development and growth issues in heritage zones; and designing conservation objectives for internationally significant cultural resources. In addition to teaching architecture design studios and historic preservation, he leads a U.S. technical team supporting Cuban preservation efforts at Museo Ernest Hemingway in Havana.
