  Kate Ottavino, director of preservation technology at the New Jersey Institute of Technology, said there's an increasing interest in preservation arts as Americans realize that the country is full of crumbling historic buildings and few people know how to fix them.
  
  A large part of the collective knowledge about the building arts is lost with each generation, she said.When churches like St. Anne's and the Holy Trinity in Brooklyn Heights need repair, specialty craftsmen must be imported from France because American tradesmen are simply no longer taught restoration techniques.
  
  "It's absolutely a crisis situation," Ottavino said."I'm one of the youngest people in the industry and I'm 48 years old."

  Kate Burns Ottavino listened intently to a discussion on the composition of the ash that is coating the landmarks and how it might be removed without harming the structures.The subject, she decided, would make for a good 11th-grade chemistry lesson.
  ...
  The school was championed for years by Brooklyn City Councilman Kenneth Fisher and Ms. Ottavino, the director of preservation technology at New Jersey Institute of Technology.
  ...
  "Preservation is simply a vehicle," said Ms. Ottavino, whose department at the New Jersey Institute of Technology has been designing the curriculum under contract to the Board of Education.
  ...
  Ms. Ottavino said that preservation majors will follow a vocational curriculum in 11th and 12th grade, though one designed to meet Regents standards.Nonetheless, she said the major will not be a so-called shop program.Most hands-on practice, she said, will take place during summer internships, required for majors.
  
  Ms. Ottavino, who proposed the idea of a preservation arts high school to Mr. Fisher in 1993, said she had been inspired by the French apprenticeship system.But, she said, unlike European apprenticeships, the program at Brooklyn High School of the Arts will prepare students either to take jobs right after graduation or study further for careers as architects or curators.
  ...
  Mr. Fisher and Ms. Ottavino had envisioned a school solely devoted to preservation arts, but some board officials were skeptical that such a school would attract enough students.
