Heritage Impact, Funding, and Project Management

"...I am interested in buildings and sites as living organisms. They can, and in some cases must, evolve & change with need & time. At their core, though, they have an essence, a story, an identity, that makes them unique, and I believe it is our job to ensure that regardless of the passage of time they always remain true to this..."
