Author Description

From the renaissance of historic homes, libraries, and commercial spaces, to large, long-term, complex projects such as the renovation of the Michigan or Texas state capitols, this book presents the state of the architectural profession as it relates to historic preservation, and attests that preservation architecture is both exciting and important. Careful renovation, restoration, and preservation enhance not only the buildings themselves, but the neighborhoods and communities that surround them by ensuring a secure future for these architecturally significant emblems of the past.
