Andrew Kim may be a figment of my own imagination, but Preservation Architects do exist.  Listen along as an architect describes his path towards a career in prserving and restoring the past. 

How do you become a preservation architect?  Without calling in the sponsered ads, I'll give you a quick tour of programs available here in Texas:

The University of Houston offers a Masters of Science in Architecture with a concentration in Historic Preservation.  Actually, I didn't know that until today that U of H had that program.  That's a character or story idea right there.  Preservation Architect in City Known for Knocking Down Everything That's Not Nailed Down.

The University of Texas has a much older and better known program, and I had debated over whether to have most of my experts in Restoring Madison come from Austin since it's still seen as a center for academic preservation programs.  But no, Andrew's proudly from Dallas. UT even has a PhD program in perservation.  

Little brother, Texas A&M has their own Center for Heritage Conservation.  It's attatched to their College of Engineering.  A&M provided us with a wildlife expert in Taking Flight, and I've done my best to spread my epxperts around as the series progressed. 

Meet the preservation experts here.
