Heritage tourists seek out places that are unique. In our efforts to support heritage tourism we strive to retain and enhance that uniqueness, provide easy guidance and aid in informing visitors about the places, properties and history they encounter. Our approach to the preservation and presentation of properties and cultural landscapes resources is to celebrate their past and accommodate tourism without the visitor needs overpowering the places visited. In our work preservation planning and landscape architecture is effectively employed to enrich the experience of the historic site, historic designed landscape, historic community or national monument while functionalities are met. For example, resolving traffic and pedestrian movements with an enhanced streetscape provides a better tourist approach to Mystic Seaport Museum. At a larger scale, we mapped adjacent resources for wayfinding along the 105-mile Taconic State Parkway Corridor. In each project, we strive to retain uniqueness and avoid the commonplace as we position preservation and tourism in a positive relationship with a valued tourist experience and a sustainable heritage place as the objective. |
