3. Course Description
Two 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.
4. Learning Objectives
At 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.
7. In 1962, five architects banded
together to form the Action
Group for Better Architecture
in New York (AGBANY)
8.
9. 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.
10. In 1966 President Johnson
signs the National Historic
Preservation Act
15. “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.”
-- Jane Jacobs, The Death and Life
of Great American Cities

“Absolutely hideous,
like scouring pads
on the retina.”
--Theodore Dalrymple
23. Each year,
approximately 1 billion
square feet of buildings
are demolished and
replaced with new
buildings.
24. “Demolition should be a last
option and not a first response.”
-- Michael Allen, Modern STL
25. “Reuse of buildings with an
average level of energy
performance consistently offers
immediate climate change impact
reductions compared to more
energy-efficient new construction.”

AIA Providers can use their own PowerPoint template as long as it doesn’t have your company logos. To personalize this slide, please insert your company name in the purple area. You may change the color used in the text. You might also want to add your provider number and the course/session number so the attendees have all of the information about your course right up front. All other wording on this slide is mandatory and cannot be changed.
New in 2011, the course description slide is now mandatory. We require this slide because descriptions are also a required element when you initially submit a course. The description should be a succinct overview for the attendees.
To personalize this slide, please insert your four learning objectives in the purple area on this slide. You may change the color used in the text. Be sure that these four learning objectives are identical to the ones that were submitted on the course registration. Please remove the “sample slide” lingo from the upper right hand corner of the page.
Of course, one of the roles of our commission is to also advocate for historic properties which are not yet listed on the Kansas City Register. Kemper Arena is one of these properties. Constructed in 1974, Kemper Arena has not yet reached the 50 year threshold which would make it eligible under the traditional sense; however, the criteria for evaluation does take into consideration properties of recent significance which demonstrate “exceptional importance”.
- Demolish one historic structure to restore another
In 2003, the EPA estimated that construction, renovation and demolition of non-residential U.S. buildings generated over 130 million tons of waste. An incredible, detrimental impact on our environment
Razing historic buildings results in a triple hit on scarce resources. First, we are throwing away thousands of dollars in embodied energy. Second we are replacing it with materials vastly more consumptive of energy. What are more historic houses structures built from? Brick, plaster, concrete and timber. What are major components of new construction? Plastic, steel, aluminum and vinyl… materials which require significantly more energy to produce. Third, recurring embodied energy savings increase dramatically as a building’s life stretches over 50 years
The Greenest Building study finds that it takes 10 to 80 years for a new building that is 30 percent more efficient than an average-performing existing to overcome, through efficient operations, the negative climate change impacts related to the construction process
Long Life Loose Fit is a mantra which is permeating through our office, and the profession, challenging architects, engineers and builders to think about the long term use of our built environment.The Bolender Center epitomizes a commitment to this way of thinking
This historic structure was designed by Jarvis-Hunt, a prolific Kansas City firm during the early part of the twentieth century. Originally constructed in 1914, the building served its first life as a coal-burning central plant which powered the great beaux-arts train station and post office built nearby. In the 1970’s the building was abandoned and sat vacant for over 30 years.The decaying building had daunting structural deterioration and drainage issues. However, amid the decay, there were many innovative design features that inspired a holistic adaptive reuse, such as the “Texas skylights,” which are raised portions of roof with operable glass windows that can be opened to release heat and allow natural sunlight to come in.
The last decade Kansas City has seen an incredible investment in the arts…The Bolender Center is the latest part of this effort
In the fall of 2010, the KCMSD was faced with declining enrollment, a projected budget deficit and crippling OM costs made a controversial decision to close over twenty schools, mothballing only a handful of properties and repurposing many
Bancroft school sat abandoned since 1999, creating a dead space in a struggling neighborhood.
Building on our work with the Make it Right Foundation and the Dalmark Development Group, the project is intended to be a model for the transformation of a struggling neighborhoodThis development group facilitated 4 community charrettes, wherein residents expressed a great desire for basic community services: medical clinic, NHA offices, safe park space, housing for families/elderly/disabled/vets/low-income, and more.
The Bancroft School Project has demonstrated a robust commitment to community dialogue and neighborhood process.
