Architecture Historic Preservation Over-the-Rhine Adaptive Reuse Infill Construction Preservation Brief 14 Preservation Architecture Architectural intervention on historic properties or within historic districts is often a spirited debate. The appropriateness of a restoration, renovation, or reuse of a building or site has become so integral to the cohesive urban fabric that historic committee have sprang up all over the United States to help govern and restrain new design in interest of preserving a unified historic urban fabric. And while there are countless local committees; whether or not to intervene on historic structures, and exactly what to do, is perhaps the most perplexing and aggravating for modern architects. This thesis aims to tackle such contradictions as “similar but different” within the field of Historic Preservation, by more specifically taking a look at designing within historic contexts. This is significant to the discipline considering the widespread re-urbanization of historic districts that has been seen in every major metropolis across the United States over the past few decades. In some instances, proper intervention has retained the historic character of such neighborhoods and has, as a result, raised property values incredibly; while other instances have, when done poorly, destroyed all authenticity and cultural purity (something that took centuries to build up organically). 2019-06-25 English text University of Cincinnati / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1554211323496614 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1554211323496614 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: some rights reserved.
