Preservation architecture involves designing and maintaining buildings and spaces to protect their historical, cultural, or aesthetic significance for future generations. It combines careful restoration techniques, using appropriate materials and methods, with ongoing maintenance to prevent decay and deterioration. The goal is to retain the building’s original integrity and character while ensuring its functionality and safety. Preservation architecture respects the history and story embedded in the structure, often involving experts to balance authenticity with modern needs, allowing communities to connect with their heritage while adapting to contemporary use.
