ENDANGERED HISTORIC PLACES 2007

	The National Trust for Historic Preservation (NTHP) has
	announced its 2007 list of the "11 Most Endangered
	Historic Places" in the United States.

	The NTHP list for 2007 includes a typically wide variety
	of sites, from individual houses of remarkable men to
	broad landscapes scattered with accumulated marks of
	history. Few of the sites are the work of famous
	architects, but all speak to the cultural significance of
	buildings and places.

	Most of the sites are threatened by development, whether
	new construction encroaching around a site or potential
	demolition of the site itself for redevelopment purposes
	o with public policy, neglect, and lack of preservation
	funding often paving the way.

	In the second half of the 19th century and the beginning
	of the 20th, the then-independent city of Brooklyn, New
	York, became a center for industry, from sugar refining
	to rope manufacturing. The docks were busy, and factories
	sprang up nearby. With this industrial growth came new
	workers, most of them immigrants. Today, Brooklyn's
	waterfront boasts a diverse mix of warehouses and other
	industrial buildings from that era. But these historic
	buildings are at risk of demolition to make way for new
	residential and commercial uses, facilitated by the New
	York City government.

	Traffic measurement on the World Wide Web is far from an
	exact science, and much of the potential data remains
	behind proprietary walls.  But with two million monthly
	visitors, the family of web sites led by ArchitectureWeek
	is arguably one of or the biggest online.  We'd like to
	share with you some of our thoughts on how it's put
	together and how your participation is supported,
	invited, and intrinsic.

This Week's Quiz -	
	"Technology cannot be an end in itself but must aim at
	solving long-term social and ecological problems. This is
	impossible in a world where short-term profit for the
	'haves' is seen as a goal. At the expense of developing
	more efficient technology for the 'have-nots.'"
	* What influential Pritzker Prize-winning British
	architect, noted for high-tech designs, made this
	statement over 25 years ago?
	* Hint: This architect partnered with another noted
	designer from 1971 to 1977. Together they created an
	important museum in Paris, named for a famous French
	leader.

Architecture Answer - for last issue's quiz...
    While "broach" can be something that happens to a sailboat, 
    it is also used as a verb and a noun in stone masonry. What 
    is a broach in masonry terms?
