## Resource

In this episode, Cherise is joined by Justin Crane, FAIA, Principal, and Stefanie Greenfield, AIA, Principal at CambridgeSeven in Cambridge, Massachusetts. They discuss The Foundry, also in Cambridge, MA. You can see the project here as you listen along. The Foundry exemplifies a thoughtful approach to adaptive reuse, where the legacy of a 132-year-old industrial structure is carried forward through a renewed civic purpose. Once home to the Blake and Knowles Steam Pump Company and later a succession of utilitarian uses, the building has been transformed into a dynamic hub for arts, education, and entrepreneurship. The design resists the urge to overwrite history, instead preserving nearly 70 percent of the original fabric and allowing the building’s industrial identity to remain present and legible.
