A Study on the Preservation of the Historic Façade

Jakucyk, Jeffrey

Abstract Details

2003, MARCH, University of Cincinnati, Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning : Architecture.
History of the built environment in the United States is short in comparison to that of other countries around the world. Nevertheless, that history is a valuable part of the country's identity, and retaining elements from all parts of that history is worthwhile. Such a thought would be unheard of two centuries ago when preservation efforts focused on patriotic nostalgia. It wasn't until the 20th century that the inherent values of architecture began to receive some accolades. Only recently has any value been placed on older buildings that have little inherent architectural value. The question becomes how to treat such buildings in today's environment. Retaining only a fragment was once a common practice, but is this still a valid approach today?
