Donovan Rypkema presentation
10:00 am – Noon
McMenamins Kennedy School
5736 NE 33rd Avenue
Portland
Donovan D. Rypkema will speak on Economics, Sustainability and Historic Preservation. "Green Buildings" in the United States are attracting the attention of architects, builders, public officials and environmentalists. What is not broadly understood is that "green buildings" are only part of the larger sustainable development movement, which includes economic and cultural responsibilities in addition to environmental concerns. The event is sponsored by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, McMenamins, and Daniels Development Co.
Tickets are $10 and pre-registration is strongly recommended
