Introduction
The desire of learning what role the architecture from the past influences the unpredictable future brings me to the study of Historic Preservation. Architecture education provides two full semester of Architecture in History which spending the first semester covering significant Ancient Architecture around the world, or mostly the Europe Architecture and the second semester on contemporary Architecture from Europe and America. Where does Historic Preservation fits? Does it belongs to the History in the book or does it belong to the work and studies of Archaeologist? The very basic question would be: “What is Historic Preservation?” The original establishment of preservation is from the sustainability stand point. As architectures, the building will live up to a point where the cost to keeping itself up is too costly. However, is that the framework of Historic Preservation? According to National Park Service their definition of Preservation is: “Preservation is portant, figuring passing along an saved to the next hands on.”
about deciding what’s imout how to protect it, and appreciation for what was generation. Preservation is
This little document is my hands on experience in the course of Historic Preservation, a record of knowledge and observations accumulated in this semester.
Glossary
Bundle of Wire
A conceptual term describing the building. Numerous elements and memories are connected to the building and shape the building to its current states. The treads within this bundle of wire are the character defining features.
Character Defining Features
Character defining features (CDF) is the fundamental element of the study of Historic Preservation. They are the treads of the bundle of wire which woven the building together. CDF can be both physical and non-physical materials, documented in different kinds of media, range from paper documentations to oral interviews.
Documentation
The other important element of Historic Preservation. Documentation can be in different format, or medium. It serves as a communication between the building and the people contributed to the history of the building.
Informed intuition
Unlike intuition by itself, informed intuition value the fact of being informed. The study and practice of Historic Preservation involves a heart of curiosity and enthusiasm to uncover a wide range of cross discipline knowledge and information. It is the belief of Historic Preservation that, the more you are informed, the more honest language you can utilize to communicate the design decision.
Language
In Architecture education, we are taught to develop our own language to communicate our design. It is not only the technical terms for building construction, but a language capable to communicate the abstract concept of the design. In Historic Preservation, an extra layer of language needs to be developed to communicate the time, history and memory of the existing building structure.
Tension
Historic Preservation is a process of dealing with many treads extended from the building itself. It is a task of the architect to understand the treads and deal with the tension among them. Being able to communicate the treads of the building is being able to honestly reflect the history, memory and at the same time satisfy new program, budget and new language of the building that wish to be communicated to the future.
Time
Time is not infinity under the man made world. For historic preservation, it is not only about the “history”, in another word, it is not only about the history. Time has a property of fluid; it contributes in the evolution of both physical and non-physical collective memory of human race. It is important to have informed intuition in the clarity of time. The whole idea is to be honest with the history, so the “complete thought” of a building is being able to be honestly passed to the future generation.
Treatment
Treatments are not a black or white solution to a problem, but a thoughtful, well documented action to treat unique design situation.
Period of Significant
From the view of Historic Preservation, we are concerned about the period of time to be studied because the architecture’s complexity in terms of time and the involvement of many people. An architectural structure can stand long enough which might experience many events and different users. By choosing a period of significant means a particular frame of time is studied because it is involved with a significant event, people or architectural quality.
Value
Value defines what the subject is being dealt with. Value also influences ones definition to the priority of relationships when dealing with the tread of the building. And what shapes one’s value is Informed intuition.
Readings and Lectures
Introduction
Informed intuition is a term I first heard in this class. This concept may not be new, as we make the majority of our daily decision based on our intuition. However, informed intuition is different and it plays a significant role in studying Historic Preservation. Being informed is the action of accumulating knowledge. In order to find my position in Historic Preservation, I began the exploration of the knowledge and insight from precursor in different time period.

The Modern Cult of Monuments: Its Essence and Its Development Alois Riegl
“...everything that once was can never be again, and that everything that once was form an irreplaceable and inextricable link in a chain of development.�
Alois Riegl is considered to be the precursor of preservation, because he brought up the discussion of value while the majority of the people in the society still giving superficial definition to monument. He realized that monuments are limited to the value of history or art. In order to define the monument, it is necessary to understand the clarity of time, the development through time. He further developed five main values: Age Value
Historic Value
Favor the nature force of decay / influence
The original form as work of man
Against any man -made preservation Against any human intervention
Preservation on original documentation Provide interpretation and understanding for future restoration
Use Value Condition satisfy human usage The value of the human footprint, human activity co-exist
Deliberate Commemorative Value
Keep monument perpetually alive, consciousness of future generation Against the destructive intervention of the hand of man
Newness Value Always the art value of the majority Do not accept the destructive of the natural force It is a promotion of style unity

The Seven Lamps of Architecture John Ruskin {Memory}
“We have no right whatever to touch them”
Ruskin has a great respect to building in the past. He believes those buildings provided profits in our knowledge, gave strength to present extension and patience to the present endurance. Buildings are not built in the hope of leaving, and Ruskin said the builders are intended to build building last forever. Ruskin on one hand reminded builders to build with material that is not perishable; on the other hand he believes the mental characteristic is a higher order than the form or physical being of the building. Ruskin believes the value and the honorable character of a building increase as time passes (5 centuries or more is the best). He is very rejected to the notion of restoration, as he metaphor the building as the dead and which we cannot raise the dead, similar fashion to the condition of a building, Ruskin believes we cannot restore the building. “We have no right whatever to touch them” He strongly stated.

OMA: CRONOCAOS Rem Koolhaas
‘As the scale and importance of preservation escalates each year, the absence of a theory and the lack of interest invested in this seemingly remote domain becomes dangerous. after thinkers like ruskin and viollet-le-duc, the arrogance of the modernists made the preservationist look like a futile, irrelevant figure. postmodernism, in spite of its lip service to the past, did no better.’
Rem Koolhaas has an awareness of the importance of the act of preservation does to the architecture industry. He sees the trend of the universal phenomena of preserving building while he believes, the industry have no clear mind what historical preservation is or what preserving is, in definition ( one of his building stamped as preserved building after 3 years). Koolhaas’s other office, AMO gave a new definition: not what to keep, but what to give up, what to erase and abandon. It calls forth and aims to distill what exactly, as a society, we should consider of cultural significance, at the same time paving ground to reveal a liberated slate under the thinning crust of our civilization.
The Historic Preservation Standard and Authorities
Introduction
Different region of the world has different responses to historical relics. They have different definition to historical site, landscape, architectures and relics. The International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS) plays an advisory role to different regions to establish their own preservation standards and guidelines. Each region provided with different historic background, cultural and political system, the approach to preservation is different from another.
United States
In the United States, Historic Preservation is contributed by both governmental agencies and non-profit organizations. Under the Antiquities Act of 1905, six federal agencies in four departments manage the 113 current U.S. National Monuments. The other historical forms are preserved under the help of The Technical Preservation Service of the National Park Services. According to the mission statement of the Technical Preservation Service: Technical Preservation Services develops historic preservation policy and guidance on preserving and rehabilitating historic buildings, administers the Federal Historic Preservation Tax Incentives Program for rehabilitating historic buildings, and sets the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties. The Standard provided by the Service does not intend to be a technical nor perspective, but are intended to promote responsible preservation practice. The Standards provides four approaches and for professionals or general public to understand how to approach a historical preservation project.

China
The Historic Preservation of China traced back to 1950s, the Civil War Period in China. It was the very first time the newly formed Central government declared instruction to the protection of monuments and relics. Their major treatment to Historic Preservation was to preserve the original appearance of the subject. Before the Cultural Revolution in 1966, the State Council defined the three major values of Preservation: Historical Value, Artistic Value and Scientific Value. As time evolved, there is an increase in tension of Historic Preservation and modern development. The government put a lot of effort in updating Monument declaration List and also adding specific preservation criteria on preserving buildings. The Principle preserving historic architecture emphasized on the architectural significant, material, style, and documentation. The Chinese government worked independently setting up all the preservation principles until 2000, as the government became more open, they began the co-operation with ICOMOS to establish The Principle for the Conservation and Restoration of Monument and Sites.

Hong Kong
Hong Kong is a land full of tension; the tension between old and new, Eastern and Western culture. Identity and heritage is not frequently brought up while under the colonial rule. The colonial government adopted a restrictive definition of heritage as monument which does not included vernacular buildings or historic districts. Before 2000, Hong Kong’s Antiquities and Monuments Offices (HKAMO) moved from one department to another. First from the Urban Service, then Broadcasting, Sport and Culture, next Home Affairs and currently stations under the Leisure and Cultural Service. Despite the raising awareness of identity and Hong Kong Heritage, with the environmental impact assessment (EIA) and active urban renewal, the power of HKAMO is still questionable. From the Chart 3, we can see the relationship of the AMO and AAB which plays advisory role in preservation to the action group, the Commissioner for Heritage’s Office. Yet this Commissioner for Heritage’s Office is under the authority of the Development Bureau controlled by the Financial Secretary. Aside the questionable authorities AMO and AAB contributed in decision making of the Preservation Project, they are groups of professionals who assign grading to buildings in Hong Kong. They considered six criteria: historic interest, architectural merit, group value, social value and local interest, authenticity and rarity. As a result there are two groups, one is declared monuments and the other is graded historic buildings.

Price Gilbert Memorial Library
Introduction
The purpose of this study is to experience the research portion of a Historic Preservation Project. Documentation is the fundamental process of this study, it is not only discovering documentations about the target building, but also identify the significant subjects and produce a collective documentation. The process is like weaving, but it does not start from nothing, rather, I need to find out the treads, observe and understand the pattern (information) and continue the weaving process, produce a fabric with harmonious pattern. The first part is to piece together the memory of the building. The memory of the building ranged from the historic background of the building, the people involved and the physical building process. The Price Gilbert Memorial Library is an academic building of a Public University; the building is well documented in the Archive of the Library. Different medium of documents are stored, ranged from newsprints, journals, letters and sketches. Folders are created to group resources under different topics. Two main categories are defined, one is resources mainly about the people contributed to the building and the other is about the building. The second part is the physical present in the building. After the understanding of the time-line of the Library and some design process of the Library, a deeper study followed: finding the Character Defining Features (CDF) of the Library. They are the elements given meaning by the designer and define the concept of the architecture, which makes the finished building a complete thought. Nothing is better than experiencing the building by touching the material and walking through the spaces. This part is to observe and document the changes of the physical elements and program usage in the building. Documents produced in this part are the continuation of the treads of the building.

Reflection & Discussion
Reflection
I asked the question of what Historic Preservation is in the introduction, I can say the whole document I have produced is the study of Historic Preservation. I am being informed through reading influencing professional about their values, studied the formation of those practical principles of conservation among different countries and hands on the research in the Price Gilbert Memorial Library. And now I am on the path shaping my own position and values. Historic Preservation is not a common architectural project; it required the sensitive translation of the existing building, clarity in communicating the period of time, and honestly passing down the treads of the building to the future. There is no black and white solution to the treatment of a Historic building, but by being informed on the designer’s part, the design decision will harmoniously weaving the past and satisfying new requirements. I believe the other face of Historic Preservation is Education. In Hong Kong, the term conservation raises its popularity after Queen’s Pier was demolished in 2008. The term conservation is translated as 保 育, the first character, 保, is protection; while the second character, 育, is about education. The preservation of a building is more than preserving and protecting the physical form of the building, but also the non-physical form elements, like, the collective memory. The Principles and Standards created by the government and professionals only provide a guideline for decision maker to consider; however, in many case, Historic Preservation is a luxurious move from their standpoint. This insight can be modified, through the recognition of the value of collective memory, which from my point of view; has another name, heritage. Heritage will not exist without the past and if it does not continue in the future, it is lost, and not recoverable, or it will not be the same. Education to the decision makers and more important, the people sharing the same culture, is the necessary path for Historic Preservation to live in this professional field. Present

Precedent Studies
There is a disconnection of Historic Preservation in academic studio and the professional practice. We did precedent research, but the amount of time spent on discovering the building is only a very small portion of the whole design process.

weeks
Historic Preservation is becoming more actively involves in architectural design, as buildings continue to age, preservation steps in. Preservation is no longer only applied on building of few hundred decade old. For example, one of Rem Koolhass’ buildings was declared to be preserved by the government after three years it was built. This reflects not only the education of Historic Preservation should be more incorporated to architecture school’s curium, but also the Historic Preservation education needs to adapt to the changing current of real world condition.
