dc.description.abstractThe delicate fabric of historic architecture is embedded in every design. Identifying a single thread strains the eye and is quickly lost in the attempt to trace its origins. Despite the difficulty in deciphering individual threads, our intuition immediately generates recognition of the familiar or warns of something amiss. A building has many complexities; proposing the alteration of a significant existing structure will enhance those complexities. Various approaches must be carefully considered before clarity will resound, allowing the old fabric to cohesively blend with the new.en
