"Rehabilitation of St. Saviour's Church" Exhibition at Queens Borough Hall, NY

June 2009- September 2009

Kaitsen Woo Architect, P.C.'s Documentation and Schematic Design Plans of the unique 1847 church designed by noted architect Richard Upjohn in Maspeth, Queens, was presented at Queens Borough Hall from June 2009 - September 2009.

The Documentation process involved tagging original and existing members before moving them to storage off-site within a 30-day deadline. The Schematic Design Study laid out design options for the church's reconstruction at All Faith's Cemetery in Middle Village, which would reuse St. Saviour's as an open-air public theater and performance space.
