Bucher (1947-2023) Douglas Bucher studied architecture at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, graduating in 1971. Following a two-and-a-half-year stint in Brazil as a member of the Peace Corps, Mr. Bucher returned to New York to apply his architectural training to the discipline of historic preservation, first at the New York Historic Trust and later with John G. Waite Associates. In the field for nearly fifty years, Mr. Bucher was involved with numerous important sites and historic properties, including Alexander Hamilton's The Grange in New York City, the New York State Capitol, Albany and the Yin Yu Tang project, which saw the relocation of a sixteen-bedroom Huizhou merchant's home from Anhui province to the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, Massachusetts. A lifelong collector and connoisseur of art, Mr. Bucher had a keen interest in Chinese art and culture. 道格拉斯·布赫（1947-2023）遺產 道格拉斯·布赫於一九七一年畢業於倫斯勒理工专校（Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute），專研建築。畢業後即隨美國政府和平隊（Peace Corps）至巴西工作兩年半，返回紐約後以其建築專長開始從事歷史建築修繕保護類工作，任職機構包括紐約史跡基金（New York Historic Trust）和John G.
