PRESERVATION ALUMNI M E M O of Columbia University Summer 2008 “GREEN DESIGN:” The New Term for Old-Fashioned Preservation BY JAMIE GIBBS I grew up in the 60s when recycle was not a word yet. Air pollution was only a recognized problem in major cities. Green was only a color and we had one waste basket in the kitchen. At the same time, I was raised by my grandparents. They had lived through two World Wars, the Great Depression, several recessions and rationing, and they were cautious! In other words, without the government or consumer groups telling us to be thrifty and conscientious, we cashed in Coke bottles, gave the milkman back empties, reused aluminum foil, balled string, wrapped garbage in old newspapers and never left the lights on. The house was a comfortable 65 degrees in the winter and 75 degrees in the summer.

The LGBTQ movement for civil rights has given rise to related activity in the cultural sphere aimed at recovering the long history of same- sex relationships, understanding the social construction of gender and sexual norms, and documenting the rise of movements for LGBTQ rights in American history.

I had hoped to come in person to the speak about the Apthorp, but my academic schedule does not permit me to be there, thus I have written this statement in strong opposition to the proposal to build atop the Apthorp Apartments. I do not generally speak at C of A hearings, but this proposal is so egregious that I feel it is imperative for me, as a preservationist and as someone interested in the architecture of New York City, to comment. The Apthorp was one ofthe earliest designations made by the Landmarks Commission. It is clear from this early designation that the Commission considered and, I hope, still considers, the Apthorp to be one of the most significant and most beautiful apartment buildings in the city. This great Italian Renaissance inspired design, with its limestone and brick facades, open rooftop loggias, grand entrance arches, and spacious courtyard, is among the first buildings that proved that affluent New Yorkers could live in gracious apartment buildings without giving up any ofthe amenities that they had in single-family row houses.

    THE NEW YORK TIMES by TRACIE ROZHON Published: July 4, 2000

    THE NEW YORK TIMES By TRACIE ROZHON Published: July 4, 2000 Brownstone (the Real Thing) Comes Back PORTLAND, Conn— Mike Meehan, a geologist who once explored for coal in the Appalachian Mountains, is supervising a crew of four men and a canary yellow backhoe, clawing away at the cliffs of the country's only operating brownstone quarry, trying to fill the orders that pour in every day. ''See those chunks with the CU on 'em?'' he asked a few weeks ago, pointing to some big rocks the color of fudge and the size of a Doberman's doghouse. ''They're for the Cooper Union in New York City. And those over there are going to the Cathedral of St. Peter and Paul in Providence, and that's a stoop going to Yale. Those pieces there are for the cornice trim on a new house going up in the Farmington Valley.'' Brownstone is back. That somber yet elegant cloak for more than 50,000 row houses, from Baltimore to Boston, was revered during the so-called Brown Decades of the mid-19th century, then reviled by the century's turn, when gleaming white limestone and marble captivated the public. For the last six decades, Portland's quarries -- which produced an estimated 80 percent of New York City's brownstone -- have been largely forgotten by the outside world. Already moribund by the start of the Great Depression, they filled with water after the flood of 1936 and the hurricane of 1938, were discovered by teenagers as a make-out spot and were adopted by fishermen who stealthily hunt big bass near the towering brownstone cliffs.

Symposium on the Restoration of Cast and Wrought Iron March 19 - 20, 2011 | Wood Auditorium, Avery Hall, Columbia University, New York, New York From the Historic Preservation Education Foundation Wrought and cast iron have long been among the most versatile building materials available to designers, craftsmen, and builders. Able to provide structural utility and decorative embellishment, iron can mimic delicate filigree or the solidity of a stone column. In the United States, especially during the late nineteenth and earlier twentieth centuries, hand-crafted wrought-iron and mass-produced cast-iron features were common in municipal buildings, churches, warehouses, factories, and commercial storefronts. Though extremely durable, cast and wrought iron, like all historic materials, require sensitive maintenance, repair, rehabilitation and, on occasion, replacement.

Please help yourself to coffee and various pastries in the back of the room, glass of water. Brave the cold morning and we’re going to get started in just a minute. Good morning. It’s amazing how quiet it gets right after you do that. Okay good morning preservationists, good morning friends of preservation, good morning everybody who made it out. We’re really glad you're here. My name is David Schnakenberg. Many of you have received emails from me under the guise of [email protected]. Most of those emails were sent between the hours of one in the morning and three in the morning so, sorry for that. Really excited about today’s program, going to very quickly get the ball rolling and then pass it off. What we’re here to do today is essentially to take stock of where preservation law is, both at the national and at the hyper local level with our own landmarks ordinance here in New York City. So we’re going to open with our keynote who’s going to discuss what the state of preservation law and preservation policy is throughout the nation then we’re going to take a look at what's going on, on the ground in three cities that we’re dealing with specific preservation issues in Chicago, Seattle and Los Angeles. Then you guys get a break and we’re going to come back and to focus on the hyper local, we’re going to talk about New York City’s landmark law and talk about whether it’s living up to its expectations, what we might want to do to tweak that law and we’re going to finish the day by exploring some of the challenges and the opportunities that should inform preservation law and perseveration policy going forward.
