Old Buildings, New Designs
The forthcoming book from Princeton Architectural Press, Old Buildings, New Designs: Architectural Transformations, by friend and client Charles F. Bloszies, with a preface by Hugh Hardy. Also included in the PDF, two recent items that are both amusing and suggestive in their intersection: Rem Koolhaas’s recent exhibition in New York, decrying the dispiriting role too often played by historic preservation; and SF Architecture Heritage’s News, published about the same time, offering Bloszies’s 1 Kearny in San Francisco as a model for strong response to an historic resource.
