David John J. Carnivale (born April 29, 1958) is an architect, preservationist, author, and artist known for his traditional methods of drafting.[1] He is the author of The Affordable House, which was the second book to appear cover-to-cover on the internet (March 1996),[citation needed] featured on the web's first architectural website The Affordable House. Since 2005 it has been published by BookSurge.com.
Carnivale is credited with helping preserve the 1678 Lakeman-Cortelyou-Taylor House in New Dorp, Staten Island, one of Staten Island's oldest surviving houses.[2][3] In 2005, he stopped the demolition of the 1825 Seaman Cottage which was instead relocated to Richmondtown Restoration, Staten Island. Carnivale has also been active in helping a number of other notable Staten Island structures become designated as landmarks, and for his efforts has won a number of preservation awards. His architectural practice to date has produced plans to approximately 500 projects, including a planned new community and an airport, both in Tennessee, as well as residences in two dozen states and many Manhattan commercial projects.[citation needed]
For his preservation work, Carnivale received the Grassroots Preservation Award next month from the Historic Districts Council in 2009.[3]
