| dc.description.abstract | In the interdisciplinary practice of historic building preservation, there is a disconnect between architecture and historic preservation professionals because each side is not fully aware of the responsibilities and goals of the other within the context of a project. Subsequently, these projects involve more conflict than collaboration, undermining the quality and focus of the work. This research acts as an accessible reference and provides resources to help emerging professionals in both fields become more aware of the challenges each side faces. This includes a comprehensive interrogation and identification of the root causes of the disconnect that currently divides the fields, and proposes solutions to mend it. By compiling information related to the various disciplines and factors at play during a project, this document presents an overview of considerations both architects and preservationists make throughout the historic preservation process. This includes a brief contextual discussion on the evolution of preservation practice in the United States. It should be expected that the number of non-preservation architects working on historic buildings will increase out of a necessity to reuse our existing building stock in the face of climate change, and also hopefully out of a greater appreciation for built historic resources. If we are to continue the practice of historic preservation with integrity, it is imperative that we provide emerging architecture and preservation professionals with the tools and knowledge to communicate efficiently and to complete appropriate, successful, quality interventions on our historic buildings. | en_US |
