  "field": "Industrial and trades",
  "definition": "Describing an addition, alteration, or repair to a building that is designed to be in keeping with the architectural character, materials, and scale of the existing structure. This approach is particularly relevant in historic preservation, where new work is intended to blend with the old without creating a jarring contrast or a false historical appearance. A sympathetic design respects the original building's form and detailing while remaining distinguishable upon close inspection.",
