Comprehensive historic preservation design studio in which students complete each phase of the adaptive reuse of a historic structure. After site visit and historic survey work, students conduct demographic research, complete a building assessment, and design a new use for a viable, yet older structure. Lecture topics range from professional practice strategies, to the history of preservation, to the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation. Components of the work include program documents, code compliance, concept development, schematic and design development presentations, and construction documents.
