Adaptive Reuse in Decaying Cities: Interior Design and Historic Preservation Working Together

Interior Designers and decaying cities should take action now to refocus and emphasize potential options to protect and preserve their past for future generations, benefiting both themselves and the municipalities they live and work in.

Historic Preservation to adaptive reuse is a professional area which benefits the general public at large, maintaining our history first hand through its building interiors. This effort and process should be joined by and involve the interior design profession.
