Space matters. Remarkable environments inspire responsible, resilient communities.*
Sound, healthy creation and preservation of our historical and future structures are not possible without sharing our cumulative knowledge with the next generation of makers of all trades. To do this, our cumulative knowledge must itself be easily accessible and beautifully presented.
Those involved in the historic preservation community must inspire the next generations. Fellows of all generations must work together as a community to create opportunity for mentorship, scholarship and apprenticeship.
The many facets of remarkable design, both historical and present day, should be carefully cataloged so that communities need not feel the burden of justifying their preservation. This detailed database will serve future makers and researchers, giving them access to the provenance of their work.
Anyone that seeks to find fulfillment through working with architectural art glass should be able to find the education and inspiration to do so. Achieving mastery is impossible without the resources of generations before.
