The delicate fabric of historic architecture is embedded in every design. Identifying a single thread strains the eye and is quickly lost in the attempt to trace its origins. Despite the difficulty in deciphering individual threads, our intuition immediately generates recognition of the familiar or warns of something amiss. A building has many complexities; proposing the alteration of a significant existing structure will enhance those complexities. Various approaches must be carefully considered before clarity will resound, allowing the old fabric to cohesively blend with the new. / Master of Architecture / The delicate fabric of historic architecture is embedded in every design.

This study has presented a comprehensive overview of the properties listed on the National Register of Historic Places from Pennsylvania and Indiana. The project systematically examines what types of properties are listed on the National Register from each state. The evidence, which was compiled into an electronic database, suggests that property listings did not follow larger social trends. However, the evidence did show that certain events, such as federal legislation and federal tax credits, led to a larger number of properties to be listed at certain times. The research also proved that the State Historic Preservation Offices of Pennsylvania and Indiana have many similarities in the way properties are nominated. / Department of Architecture

Preservationists and historic sites managers need to be aware of the affects of excess man-made vibrations on historic structures. The purpose of this creative project is to examine those affects and identify some methods to mitigate them. To write this project, it was necessary to search through available literature identifying past research and studies on this subject. Research was culled from various sources examining the affects of vibrations on new and historic structures and are presented here in one volume.The affects of vibrations on historic structures is not a subject that is well represented in preservation or structural engineering literature. The information currently available is scattered through various sources. Thus, there is the lack of a single reference examining the affects of vibrations on historic structures. This project is meant to be used as a reference for historic preservationists, house museum curators, and historic sites managers who seek information about vibration effects and possible solutions to their vibration problem. / Department of Architecture
