In Situ sums up the theoretical position embodied in the work of New
York architect George Ranalli. Over the past thirty-two years, George
Ranalli has worked on projects in New York, other states in the US, and
across the world that have involved large-scale urban design, houses in
the landscape, additions, renovations of major landmark buildings and
new constructions. George Ranalli is internationally celebrated and
published for his work in historic settings, National Register Historic
Landmark buildings and settings with rich design and craft traditions.
In Situ is his operational strategy in the design of these new buildings
and additions to these complexes, providing contemporary and creative
structures that also blend in seamlessly with their historic
environments.The projects have developed a rich craft and design
vocabulary, which links this work to the origins and roots of the longer
craft tradition in design and architecture.
