Partnering to Preserve History
The restoration and preservation of historic buildings embraces national, cultural and social values as well as furthers economic interests. It is a complex process that requires multi-disciplinary knowledge, experience and expertise. In addition, historic preservation interfaces increasingly with green construction and sustainability, introducing new factors into the planning and implementation processes.
In Israel, historic preservation is a developing field that offers property owners, entrepreneurs and investors exciting opportunities to become partners in conserving Jewish and Zionist history and heritage. While there are challenges, there are also many rewards: the history of the State for Israel is coming to life time and time again through inspiring restoration and conservation projects across the country.
