Goal
This project aims to improve contemporary architectural interventions in historic urban areas by creating better methods and criteria for designing new buildings respectful of their historic surroundings and for assessing their impacts. Working with planning, architectural, conservation, and development professionals, it will develop objective standards that reflect a shared understanding of appropriate development, improve consistency in the decision-making process, and promote good design.
