The two fields of historic preservation and sustainable design include many similar values concerning conservation, yet produce buildings that ultimately look and perform differently. Historic preservation relies on the maintenance of traditional materials to ensure that historic buildings are preserved for future generations. Sustainable design typically works with new construction to create buildings that have little negative impact on the environment. The similarities yet separateness that exist between historic preservation and sustainable design provide a compelling platform to ask how we can combine the two fields within one building project. The combination of these two felds is currently being explored in post-Katrina New Orleans, and I am asking how we can combine historic preservation with aspects of sustainable design to create a sustainable preservation hybrid, or fusion between technological aspects of "green" design with traditional methods of preservation, that will allow historic buildings to maintain their integrity and achieve the values of sustainability. New Orleans provides a great opportunity to examine this question due to the damage caused by Hurricane Katrina and the ensuing efforts to rebuild the city. One specific area of New Orleans, the historic district of Holy Cross, plays home to two key organizations involved in the rebuilding: the Preservation Resource Center, which preserves the existing historic housing stock, and Global Green, which builds new, sustainable design projects. These two organizations work right down the street from one another, yet have yet to combine their building methods or work together on a shared project. This relationship between Global Green/sustainable design and the Preservation Resource Center/historic preservation provides a good opportunity to examine how elements of new sustainable design can be combined with the traditional methods of preservation in order to achieve a sustainable preservation hybrid. I examine the creation of a sustainable preservation hybrid by conducting a literature review, interviews and site visits, and energy modeling. The literature review reveals that preservationists and architects involved with sustainable design like the idea of creating a hybrid, but still lack a thorough understanding of each other's tacit values. The interviews reveal how the organizations working in Holy Cross also embrace the idea of a sustainable preservation hybrid, yet remain somewhat lost as to how to actually create such a building. The energy modeling then demonstrates which combination of "green" materials from sustainable design and "traditional" materials from historic preservation combine to create a building that achieves both the values of sustainable design and historic preservation. Whether or not we can combine preservation and sustainable design to make a hybrid poses an original and relevant question in the context of post-Katrina New Orleans and elsewhere. Since we are currently facing an energy crisis, the conclusions as to how we can combine these two fields prove how a single, historic building can simultaneously conserve both environmental and historic resources.

This thesis examines the impact of historic preservation on public housing revitalization efforts in post-Katrina New Orleans. Through this case study, I analyze the possibilities for a more expansive and social justice-oriented approach to historic preservation at complicated sites through broadening the concept of significance, which determines what we act to preserve in the urban landscape. New Orleans' first public housing complexes were nationally recognized for their low-rise, courtyard designs when completed in the early 1940s. B. W. Cooper, C. J. Peete, Lafitte, and Saint Bernard were four of these early developments, and came to be called the "Big Four" because of their size and importance. Mismanaged for years by the Housing Authority of New Orleans (HANO), the historic developments struggled with persistent violence and poverty. When Hurricane Katrina struck in August of 2005, the developments were emptied as residents evacuated the flooded city. Most would never return to their former units: HANO and the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) announced redevelopment plans in early 2006. The Big Four would be demolished and replaced with new mixed income communities financed by private-public partnerships. Before HUD and HANO could complete the planned demolitions, they were required to undertake a public consultation process called Section 106 to discuss negative effects on historic resources and to offer strategies to mitigate these effects. Pursuant to the Section 106 reviews, the developers at each site preserved several historic buildings and took other steps to document demolished historic resources. Despite these outcomes, my research shows that the Section 106 public review process did not rise to a substantial level of consultation and impact. Historic preservation was not incorporated in the planning process for the sites, but included as an afterthought. The reviews were initiated too late and suffered from narrow participation. Most importantly, the Section 106 process did not educate or give space to New Orleanians for problem solving on a key contemporary issue for the city: how to encourage development practices that promote economic revitalization while also protecting communities and historic buildings. To help frame this issue for the preservation movement, I propose a parallel strain to historic preservation called community preservation, which advocates for the protection of social networks and cultural traditions alongside building preservation.

ABSTRACT: Hurricane Katrina battered the Gulf Coast in 2005, inflicting an unprecedented amount of damage in her wake, leaving life-long residents of New Orleans homeless and effectively submerging a beloved city. For a time following the storm, flurries of committees, organizations and councils attempted to plan how the city would collectively be rebuilt. While the initial plans focused on the successful recovery of the city as a whole, the reality is that in the last five years the different neighborhoods have each rebuilt in their own way and their own time. This study surveys six New Orleans neighborhoods that endured the worst of the flooding and analyzes the recovery through a photographic field study of the exterior envelope, focusing on the existence of sustainable elements. From there, a variety of analytical tools were developed and utilized to synthesize the information gathered to identify the material selections. Sustainability, life cycle cost, durability and historical vernacular were some of the characteristics identified in the quality modeling as factors that impacted the final decision making process. Quantifying physical characteristics allowed neighborhoods to be compared to each other and to an ideal model. Successful reconstruction of a region after a natural disaster is dependent on the community's ability to balance between the desire to rapidly reconstruct everything exactly as it was with the necessity to thoughtfully analyze the problems that the storm revealed and make the appropriate adjustments. This study aimed to provide some connection to the different factors in the decision making process.

Download Preservation, Sustainability, and Equity Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Heritage occupies a privileged position within the built environment. Most municipalities in the United States, and nearly all countries around the world, have laws and policies to preserve heritage in situ, seeking to protect places from physical loss and the forces of change. That privilege, however, is increasingly being unsettled by the legacies of racial, economic, and social injustice in both the built environment and historic preservation policy, and by the compounding climate crisis. Though many heritage projects and practitioners are confronting injustice and climate in innovative ways, systemic change requires looking beyond the formal and material dimensions of place and to the processes and outcomes of preservation policy--operationalized through laws and guidelines, regulatory processes, and institutions--across time and socio-geographic scales, and in relation to the publics they are intended to serve. This third volume in the Issues in Preservation Policy series examines historic preservation as an enterprise of ideas, methods, institutions, and practices that must reorient toward a new horizon, one in which equity and sustainability become critical guideposts for policy evolution.

Download Sustainability in America's Cities Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
"Sustainability" is more than the latest "green" buzzword. It represents a new way of viewing the interactions of human society and the natural world. Sustainability in America's Cities highlights how America's largest cities are acting to develop sustainable solutions to conflicts between development and environment. As sustainability rises to the top of public policy agendas in American cities, it is also emerging as a new discipline in colleges and universities. Specifically designed for these educational programs, this is the first book to provide empirically based, multi-disciplinary case studies of sustainability policy, planning, and practice in action. It is also valuable for everyone who designs and implements sustainability initiatives, including policy makers, public sector and non-profit practitioners, and consultants. Sustainability in America's Cities brings together academic and practicing professionals to offer firsthand insight into innovative strategies that cities have adopted in renewable energy and energy efficiency, climate change, green building, clean-tech and green jobs, transportation and infrastructure, urban forestry and sustainable food production. Case studies examine sustainability initiatives in a wide range of American cities, including San Francisco, Honolulu, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Milwaukee, New York City, Portland, Oregon and Washington D.C. The concluding chapter ties together the empirical evidence and recounts lessons learned for sustainability planning and policy.
