Spring 2026 Elective Preservation Design Studio
What makes a successful modern intervention within a historic context? This studio explores that question through design thinking, case studies, and hands-on projects across Kentucky. Students will design restoration, adaptive reuse, and contextual infill projects, learning how to balance innovation with preservation and engage local planning and preservation groups. Embrace ambiguity. Challenge assumptions. Discover how modern design and historic fabric can coexist meaningfully. This course is open to all students — undergraduate, graduate, and outside the College of Design.
