"When architects design a building, they have a specific vision in mind that then comes to life when the building literally rises from the ground and takes shape. However, wear and tear and the elements can have a dramatic impact on that vision over time," said Mark Parrish, president and CEO of Stuart Dean. "At Stuart Dean, we have 80 years of experience in restoring and refinishing structures of all kinds, and we believe we have an important story to tell to the architects and other professionals who will be in attendance at AIA 2012.  We're looking forward to participating in this important industry show."
