“Preservation tells you who you are,” Mr. Fogle told the Baltimore Sun. “Identity has to be linked with a place, and preservation keeps those places intact.” At the University of Maryland, he started a historic preservation aimed at hands-on experience.
“Dear Professor Fogle,” it began, “Having heard of all the work you have done at Kiplin Hall in the United Kingdom, I am writing to express my warmest appreciation of everything you have done to provide an appropriate and viable use for this fascinating country house.”
He went on: “I am particularly encouraged to hear that students who have visited the Hall have helped to give it new life, and that these students have themselves been enriched by the experience of working with such a remarkable place.” David Porter Fogle was born in Lexington, Ky., on May 4, 1929. His parents were professors at Georgetown College, a private Baptist liberal arts institution. His father taught romance languages, and his mother taught music. They also ran a travel service, where as a teenager David counted baggage.He graduated in 1947 from Phillips Exeter Academy in New Hampshire and received a bachelor’s degree in architecture four years later from Princeton University. Mr. Fogle then joined the Navy.

In Chile, he designed buildings that later survived a serious earthquake.Mr. Fogle began teaching at U-Md. in 1970, where he also served as associate dean in the architecture school. With his students, he traveled to work on projects in Russia, Egypt, Mexico and Spain.
