Hardy and Architecture Study Day

Hardy had come to believe that architecture should be celebrated precisely for the inconsistencies and imperfections that many had tried ruthlessly to obliterate in the name of restoration. For Hardy, architectural preservation meant the preservation not only of aesthetic qualities but of human associations.

Thomas Hardy was an architect for Hicks and Cricknay.
