From Australia to NYC: A Vision to Preserve
Rooted in Australia, Inspired by New York’s Forgotten Spaces
At Creative Preservation, we document and celebrate New York City's forgotten architectural heritage. Our platform fuses photography, creative writing, and historical research to revive decaying spaces and inspire public dialogue.
Founded and led by a team of Australian creatives, our mission is to bridge the gap between decaying spaces and living memory. We fuse photography, creative writing, archival research, and storytelling to shed light on overlooked structures, forgotten landmarks, and urban relics that once shaped the identity of the city. Our work not only preserves these spaces in a visual and historical sense, but also inspires dialogue about their cultural significance in today’s rapidly changing landscape.
Over the years, we’ve collaborated with a diverse range of voices—local NYC artists, historians, architects, and preservationists—to build a vibrant and inclusive creative community. At the same time, we’ve fostered a growing network of global contributors who share our passion for urban heritage, art, and exploration. Whether you're an artist, historian, architect, or someone simply fascinated by the stories cities leave behind, Creative Preservation invites you to join us on a journey of rediscovery—from Australia to New York and beyond.
