PRESERVATION AWARDS 2004 Although the built history of the United States is relatively young compared to that of most of the rest of the world, heroic efforts are sometimes needed to preserve what remains. The damaging effects of natural disasters, neglect, and "progress" often destroy old buildings before their historic value can be appreciated.

SCHOOLS OUR KIDS WOULD BUILD In 1967, and again in 2001, British schoolchildren were invited to submit their ideas to a competition "The School I'd Like."

This review of the archived results suggests that architects could benefit from understanding these children's visions. — Editor
