My name is Anthony Arnone an Architecture Studies student at Philadelphia University with a concentration in Historic Preservation, graduating in May 2015. As a student I am inspired by the historic precedents that have set the foundation for modern design. This portfolio and selected works represent a collection displaying my skills in design, documentation, and adaptive reuse that I have completed over the past four years enrolled at Philadelphia University's College of Architecture and the Built Environment.

Fairmount Park Historic Preservation Trust, Philadelphia, PA, US, Restorer/Intern
Under the Fairmount Park Historic Preservation Trust, student interns from surrounding Philadelphia colleges and myself, worked as a team restoring a 19th Century High Victorian known as the "Thomas Mansion." As interns we experience proper restoration techniques used on interiors, without damaging or hindering the history.

Philadelphia University, Philadelphia, PA, US, BArch, Architecture Studies-Historic Preservation
Philadelphia University’s Historic Preservation program focuses upon the relationship between rehabilitation of historic buildings and sustainability. Students learn to determine historic significance of structures, viewed not as disembodied artifacts but as possibilities for adaptive reuse and retrofitting, as models of energy efficiency, and as part of the cultural fabric of a community. From streets and neighborhoods to entire cities, both locally and internationally, historic preservation is an innovative practice that is essential to the development of environmentally, economically, and socially sustainable urban spaces.
