The Urban Electric Co.’s Preservation Panel
March 5, 2020 |
When it comes to preservation, it’s all about location—a crucial and central factor that impacts everything. Local architecture and design traditions must be considered. City-specific ordinances and legal guidelines can directly affect (and in some cases predetermine) a project’s scope and scale. Environmental protections, changing landscapes, property-specific requirements and historic designations present additional levels of oversight. Even the act of preservation itself is subject to whichever approach prevails in a given destination. Beyond that, there are the less defined elements that vary by designer and project—the historic and cultural significance of a structure, for instance, or community backlash. In other words, the location of a preservation project may be fixed but the designer’s experience is anything but.
