Emily’s article Sanctuary Interior Decoration: Balancing Beauty, Liturgy, Public Programming, and Historic Architecture can be found on pages 23-28. The New York Landmark’s Conservancy Common Bond serves as the Conservancy’s technical journal dedicated to the care and maintenance of historic religious properties.
“Stabilization of the plaster may be the most pressing component of a restoration but it’s often the introduction or reinstatement of the artwork that galvanizes a community.”
Emily Sottile, Director of the Sacred Space Studio
This issue of Common Bond celebrates the diverse range of styles found in New York’s religious architecture. Articles highlight adaptive reuse of former movie palaces to churches; case studies on balancing beauty, liturgy, public programming, and historic architecture; and scenes from NYLC’s May 2019 Sacred Sites Open House. EverGreene is proud to be a continued annual sponsor.
