Preservation Major Priority
Louis Harris and Associates recently polled opinion leaders about trends likely to have a major impact on the built environment and architecture in the 21st century. Those polled, comprised of leaders inside and outside the design and construction industry, ranked only "urbanized" suburbs higher than the renovation of older buildings. Harris believes that, in the future, Americans will rediscover the beauty of older construction and focus more attention on renovation.
The American Institute of Architects commissioned the survey as part of "Vision 2000," a multi-year program to assess the future of architecture and the built environment.
