2 California Preservation Foundation Newsletter, April 1998 President's Report - Michael Crowe CPF

New Perspectives on Preservation, the theme of this year's News California Preservation Conference, is the product of intense discussion by the conference planning committees. As a result, the educational sessions are intended to conscientiously carry the theme throughout the conference. The new perspectives will offer a look at current preservation topics, but with the intent of inspiring or presenting a different interpretation of the idea. Apropos to our location, the relationship between preservationists and institutional property owners (academic, medical, governmental) will be a large focus. Working with these groups may be difficult, but there can be successes. You will find examples in the sessions. Why this concern for new perspectives? Too often we preservationists talk only to each other or fail to adequately convey our message. Often the word is spread, not by us, but by a reporter covering a story or lawsuit who may or may not accurately frame the issues. The conference is intended to look at other ways of getting the message out and looking to a broader constituency for support. Although the sustainable design and no-growth/limited growth movements seem to be logical allies, such relationships must also be carefully thought out and will also be covered at the conference. Unless there is adequate consideration and protection of historic resources, there can be enormous pressure put on intensifying uses at the expense of existing historic resources with not so intense uses. I would hate to see retention of a low density historic district be pitted against the development of open green space. Although the Tides Foundation Projects at the San Francisco Presidio have won awards for sustainable design, I have seen other projects touting sustainable design which still caused the loss of historic fabric. The dialogue needs to continue. In the meantime, as you may have read in my last column, I too am still learning about the preservation process and trying to develop a new perspective. Maybe at the California Preservation is conference there will be an epiphany-who knows? published by the California Preservation Foundation, California's only statewide, non-profit CONFERENCE REMINDERS organization promoting historic preservation.
