Historic Preservation

Definition of Historic Preservation as it relates to Architecture, Architectural Design

Historic Preservation is a field dedicated to identifying, safeguarding, and maintaining structures, sites, and landscapes of historical, cultural, and architectural significance. It encompasses researching, documenting, restoring, and adaptively reusing these heritage assets while respecting their original character and design principles. The goal is to preserve the tangible reminders of our past for future generations, foster civic pride, promote education and tourism, and contribute to sustainable urban development. Emphasizing a collaborative approach between architects, historians, planners, and community members, Historic Preservation plays a vital role in shaping our collective memory and sense of identity.
