14th Street and Union Square: A Preservation Plan

14th Street: River to River

Each year the Historic Preservation faculty designates a particular portion of New York City as the study area for the first year students' studio sequence. The end product of this year-long studio is the creation of a preservation plan that addresses the significance, challenges, and recommendations for historic resources within the study area. Each preservation plan is a collaborative effort by the students, and is the result of two semester's worth of in-depth study and analysis of the study area's historic, architectural, and social characteristics.
