Designing for Preservation and Progress

How do you modernize a historic institution without losing the traditions that give it meaning? AJ Paron speaks with designer Dan Mazzarini of Mazzarini & Co. about rethinking spaces at the Harvard Club of New York for a new generation of members. What began as a food and beverage project evolved into a larger design challenge: creating places for working, gathering and connection while respecting a McKim, Mead & White landmark and the expectations of longtime members. They explore how thoughtful updates, intergenerational thinking and an additive approach to historic interiors can help preservation and progress coexist. This season of Once Upon A Project is presented by Crypton.
