There are two historic buildings...nearly identical. The hazardous material
mitigation alone will cost more than anyone would want to invest in the
buildings. A plan is afoot to adatively reuse one as a building and
adaptively demolish the other for a parking lot. The first is not feasible
without the parking lot. I wish the parties were shallow profit driven
developers...they are not.
What is excellence? The buildings are of no special significance, just old
and part of a context, a landscape, a storey. How is this work done well?
