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.
