Preservation Futures is a firm working to connect the past, present, and future of the built environment through research, action, and design. Our work includes interpretation of historic places and spaces; cultural resource management for public and private organizations; and preservation as a tool to support stewardship of the built environment at all scales. We produce research that informs public processes and policy decisions; plan programs that develop audiences and engage communities; and help clients large and small reimagine and revive buildings through restoration, renovation, and adaptive reuse.

Farr Associates is an architecture and urban design firm that creates and preserves lovable, healthy places that enrich human life while minimizing negative environmental impacts. Whether it’s adaptive reuse, restoration, or new construction, our best work results from close collaboration with clients on projects that aspire to attain social, economic, and environmental goals, often at the crossroads of urbanism and architecture.

Collectively, our work elevates people, places, and histories that are often overlooked, but on different scales.
