From Hank Schubart’s Jackson House to Richard Neutra’s Kaufmann House, architect Leo Marmol’s projects reveal how restoration can be a lower-carbon, higher-impact alternative to new construction. In conversation with Zahid Sardar, Marmol will also address the consequences of preservation in cities like San Francisco.
