Buildings must also comply to the needed accommodations that will aid in the protecting the environment and at the same time the people living in it. Good thing that you shared these pointers so that building owners will also be on the-know regarding these matters.

Thanks for the post – great reading. The one thing I would have to take issue with is your comment at the end: “…as American values shift from valuing our history to valuing the “new”. ” In fact Americans have ALWAYS preferred the new over the historic – that’s why most of historic Portland was torn down without a second thought to make room for the automobile. Our challenge is to change an entire national mind-set, and show that re-purposed historic structures can meet the demands of modern society while keeping our architectural heritage alive and dynamic.

Awesome to hear a Christian organization taking environmental stewardship seriously! As a Christian myself, I’ve been saddened by the recent association between Christians and a lack of concern for natural environment. Keep up the good work Mercy Corps.

Thank you, Ralph, for laying out these very apt points and challenging the NPR program’s assumptions. Another value is the long lifespan of historic buildings. Will the new construction stand for 100 years? I hope, too, that in our fervor for greeness we don’t completely overlook the cultural benefits of preservation and reuse of historic buildings – the stories, craftsmanship, and sense of place that give our communities distinct identities. They still seem to do a better job of creating community connectedness than most new development I see.

Just a clarification, but Memorial Coliseum has not been saved by listing in the National Register of Historic Places but in Portland an individually listed building is much harder to demolish.
