Friends and Colleagues,
I strongly encourage you to read -- if you've not already -- the below NYT
debate pieces that the SHPO included in last week's "weekly list". It's wi
ll take less than 10 minutes, and delivers an encouraging set of perspectiv
es on the value(s) of Modern architecture, as seen by both preservation adv
ocates AND those that we've long considered to be kind of "outside" our com
munity. The take-away, I think, is that many of "those" people are beginni
ng to understand the many reasons why "we" do what we do.
