Course DescriptionTwo distinct forces are on a trajectory to change the preservation movement.
As modern architecture comes of age, efforts to save important buildings of the
Post-WWII Era are challenging the public's perception of what it means for a
building to be "historic". As the preservation community wrestles with what is
historic architecture and how it should be saved, the health of our planet is
faced with extraordinary challenges and how our built environment responds to
these challenges has never been more important. This presentation covers the
ongoing evolution of the preservation movement and the increasingly critical
alignment with the green building movement.
Learning ObjectivesAt the end of this program, participants will be able to:
1. This course will inform participants of the preservation movement's history in
the United States from the earliest efforts to reconstruct colonial settlements,
forts and sites associated with our founding fathers to today's preservation
battle lines in the fight to protect modern landmarks.
2. Participants will be able to identify key challenges facing the preservation
community by examining case studies which illustrate the critical importance
of resolving conflicts between conservation and preservation.
3. This course will illustrate innovative ways historic buildings can be
repurposed and sustainable design can help ensure our architectural
heritage is preserved for future generations.
4. Participants will be able to measure the environmental impact of building
demolition versus reuse, using an existing project.
In the beginning…
Penn Station; McKim, Mead and White; Constructed 1910
In 1962, five architects banded together to form the Action Group for Better Architecture in New York (AGBANY)
Although the battle to save Penn Station was lost, AGBANY’s efforts to save the building led to several milestones in modern preservation.
• 1964: Columbia University offers the first advanced-degree historic preservation
• 1965: New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission is established
• 1965: New York-based World Monuments Fund is founded in to preserve historic sites all over the world.
In 1966 President Johnson signs the National Historic Preservation Act

“New buildings make sense for major chain stores and restaurants that can afford to build them.But many other sorts of businesses, especially small start-ups, thrive best in old buildings.”

Each year, approximately 1 billion square feet of buildings are demolished and replaced with new buildings.
“Demolition should be a last option and not a first response.”
-- Michael Allen, Modern STL
“Reuse of buildings with an average level of energy performance consistently offers immediate climate change impact reductions compared to more energy-efficient new construction.”
