Abstract
Art is often a process of making the invisible visible in an effort to reveal hidden meaning or beauty. The process of historic preservation, however, involves making the visible invisible in an effort to preserve aesthetic and structural integrity. Grand Central Terminal serves as a prime example. The most visited landmark in New York City, the Beaux-Arts terminal has a beauty and grandeur that will be preserved largely by means of intensive engineering and restoration work that is completely invisible to the more than 500,000 people who pass through the terminal every day.
