Schaefer I historic preservatio we ofte talk about the reasos a buildig, or a place, is sigificat. These reasos usually iclude architectural excellece, cultural sigificace, or special history related to a perso, group of persos, or meaigful evets. Occasioally we eve wax ostalgic about why a place matters o a persoal level ad the role buildigs play i coectig us to our ow stories. We ca ow add aother reaso buildigs matter, the way they ifluece our brais, ad i tur our health ad well-beig. Emergig research is revealig a deep coectio betwee architectural desig ad physiological ad eurological resposes. The work of the Academy of Neurosciece i Architecture is ow dedicated to this coectio, ad Historic Dever hosted a pael o this topic, titled This is Your Brai o Buildigs, o September 19 as part of the ogoig re:dever series. The speakers icluded Do Ruggles, who has worked i the architecture idustry for over 35 years, ad Meredith Baasiak, a desig researcher who focuses o the iteractios betwee people ad eviromets. Particularly thought-provokig was Do Ruggle s debukig of the age old adage, beauty is i the eye of the beholder. Istead, Do s presetatio charted a very specific set of criteria that ca predict what our brais perceive as beautiful. He oted humas, over millios of years, have developed sophisticated ad automatic respose mechaisms that tie our cellular biology to our surroudigs. For the purpose of the talk, Do broke subcoscious resposes ito two categories, parasympathetic, which icludes edorphi-led reactios, stress relief, beauty ad iterest, ad sympathetic, adrealie-led reactios associated with flight or fight. Parasympathetic resposes were of particular iterest to Do because they ca be triggered by the eviromet. Accordig to Ruggles, Beauty is a physical ad emotioal reactio to a patter that geerates the feelig of pleasure. The formula for beauty he preseted is a positive feedback loop that coects curiosity, aticipatio ad pleasure. Takig this cocept a step further, Coli Ellard, a euroscietist at the Uiversity of Waterloo, coducted a study i 2011 after observig the ew additio of a so-called blad-lookig Whole Foods i Mahatta.

Fall 2017 PRESERVATION BRIEFS Packard s Hill Historic District Approved! A group of residets worked together to create a ew historic district oe that jois Ghost, Wolff Place, Witter-Cofield ad Potter Highlads i achievig historic district status i what has bee traditioally kow as the Northside, ow ofte referred to as Northwest Dever. This approved district ecompasses the west side of Lowell Boulevard to Osceola Street, ad orth of 32d Aveue to 35th Aveue ear Highlads Square. The district icludes 173 historic homes i three of the origial West Highlad subdivisios: Packard s Hill, Highlad Place, ad First Additio to Highlad Place. The Packard s Hill subdivisio was platted i 1887 by William C. Packard ad Charles L. Hoffma. I 2015, Historic Dever, i partership with the West Highlad Neighborhood Associatio, received a State Historical Fud grat to research ad survey the eighborhood. Workig with Frot Rage Research Associates, we discovered the people ad places that make this part of Dever so uique, icludig the uusually high umber of wome activists ad professioals who made the district their home i its early years, ad the high rates of female homeowership ad costructio. The district was amog the first specifically recogized for its relatioship to wome s history. Additioally, the architectural character of the eighborhood is remarkably itact, highlightig the developmet of the area from 1886 1940. I respose to support from more tha 75 property owers i the district, the applicatio was submitted to the City of Dever for historic status i early Jue. That applicatio made its way through the City s processes, ad wet before City Coucil for a Public Hearig o Moday, September 25th. After may hours of testimoy from those who supported the desigatio ad those who opposed it, the desigatio of Packard s Hill was approved by a vote of 8 to 5. Packard s Hill Historic District is ow amog the importat districts that tell our city s story, ehace our City s uique idetity, ad cotribute to our quality of life. The district is a fatastic opportuity to tell the story of pioeerig families that moved across the river, civic-mided wome that pushed for equal rights, ad workig class families that shaped the city ito what we kow today. If you wat to lear more about the historic district efforts ad the history of Packard s Hill you ca visit historicdever.org. Developers of the Fruitdale School i Wheat Ridge, pictured before rehabilitatio, used the preservatio tax credit program to covert the vacat school ito housig. Tax Credit As A Preservatio Tool IN 2014, THE STATE OF COLORADO eacted the Colorado Job Creatio ad Mai Street Revitalizatio Act, brigig a sigificatly ehaced state historic preservatio tax credit to all Colorado commuities. Historic Dever, ad our parters at Colorado Preservatio, Ic., ad Dowtow Colorado, Ic. played a big role i craftig ad supportig the legislatio, ad the program has bee overwhelmigly successful sice its lauch i July 2015. The commercial versio of the credit has kick-started preservatio projects across the state, totalig more tha $121 millio i ivestmet, while residetial tax credit projects have allowed homeowers to repair ad maitai their historic resideces i Dever ad beyod. The tax credit is the most importat preservatio icetive i Colorado, ecouragig owers to pursue desigatio, ad supportig those who already ow protected properties. This beeficial legislatio is set to expire December 31, 2019 ad alog with our preservatio parters we are spearheadig efforts to reauthorize the tax credit durig the 2018 legislative sessio. Your support will be critical i esurig reauthorizatio of the credit. You ca keep track of our progress at www. historicdever.org, ad you ca doate to the effort via Colorado Preservatio, Ic. s website, coloradopreservatio.org. Sice 2015, the tax credit has supported key projects i the Dever area, icludig the Staley Marketplace, the Sheedy Masio, the 1st Aveue Hotel, the Fruitdale School, Tivoli Brewery, the Alliace Ceter, 1801 Blake Street ad the much aticipated affordable housig coversio of Tamme Hall o the old Childre s Hospital site. Other commuities that have take advatage of the program to spur preservatio ad adaptive reuse iclude Silverto, New Castle, Triidad, Telluride, ad Steamboat Sprigs. These tax credit projects will yield more tha $9.5 millio i direct sales tax for the state, ad project applicats estimate that 661 ew full-time jobs will be created as a result of the ecoomic developmet geerated by these projects. Coutig all full- ad part-time jobs, project applicats estimate they will icrease payroll by $31 millio oce their projects are completed. The tax credit is a wi-wi for our commuities, savig the buildigs we love ad stregtheig our local ecoomies.

Historic Dever News February - March 2016 First Uitaria achieved ladmark status, i part, as a statemet that they are committed to maitaiig their presece at this historic locatio as a urba sactuary i the heart of Dever. Just as i the past, today First Uitaria is active ad ifluetial i social justice, issues of race, gay ad lesbia rights, marriage equality, wome s rights, ad immigratio justice. Sice occupyig the buildig i 1958, First Uitaria has made few alteratios to the buildig, oly makig chages to improve accessibility ad iterior fuctioality (especially followig a 1985 fire which destroyed much of the origial iterior). This year First Uitaria with the help of Historic Dever as grat admiistrator, obtaied a State Historical Fud grat to address the much eeded rehabilitatio of the buildig s exterior stoe masory o all four buildig facades. The Church is a outstadig example of buildigs that icorporate veracular rhyolite stoe crafted i the Richardsoia Romaesque Revival style. Also, the First Uitaria Society Church cotais a uique ad historic example of the work of Watkis Staied Glass Studio, a family-owed busiess from Eglad which bega i 1761 i staied glass craftsmaship, ad made their way to Dever i 1881. The First Uitaria buildig is worth preservig for may reasos ad the cogregatio is celebrated for makig a log-term commitmet, ot just to the Dever commuity, but oe of its importat buildigs as well. = Architects to udertake a Historic Structures Assessmet (HSA) of the buildig. Based o the results of the HSA, i 2004, the cogregatio of St. Barabas applied for, ad received, a State Historical Fud grat to rehabilitate the brickwork, woodwork, ad widows of the 1891 Chapel ad 1897 Parish House. These earlier projects required extesive emotioal ad fiacial commitmets ad the Parish rose to the occasio, which they have doe agai. I 2015, St. Barabas applied to the State Historical Fud to restore the steel casemet widows as part of a project at Marshall House. The Marshall House is a Tudor Revival 13,500sf additio to the south of the origial Sactuary ad Lukes Wig of St. Barabas Parish. The grat work o the widows of the Marshall House was predomiatly completed this summer with the help of both Aderso Hallas Architects ad Heritage Widow Restoratio, LLC. This was the culmiatio of a larger project which ivolved the expasio of the upper floor of Marshall House ad the istallatio of a elevator, amogst other improvemets. The rehabilitatio of the steel casemet widows has allowed for the preservatio of the beautiful character defiig aesthetic for the Tudor Revival widow type while upgradig operability ad eergy efficiecy through the additio of low profile iterior storm widows. Historic Dever looks forward to St. Barabas Parish ow havig a solid home base to cotiue to welcome all to their commuity, as well as fulfillig the directive to feed the multitudes with loaves ad fishes. Their small church commuity has really accomplished great thigs: from startig Sewall House i 1944 to serve those impacted by polio, cerebral palsy, ad other physical disabilities; to opeig their kitche to Project Agel Heart, a program which delivers home-cooked meals to people livig with HIV/AIDS; cookig soup to help support St. George s Cliic i Baghdad; ad servig as a shelter for the Wome s Homelessess Iitiative. These will all be accomplished with a little more comfort ad efficiecy thaks to the recetly completed ad preservatio friedly rehabilitatio. At home i Dever. At home i the Moutai West. First Uitaria Buildig Well o its way to aother 100 years The First Uitaria Society Church is oe of Dever s most recetly-desigated local ladmarks, receivig uaimous City Coucil support i August 2016. The buildig is ow home to its secod local cogregatio over its 120 years. Its origial builder ad occupat was the Plymouth Cogregatioal Church begiig i 1893.

Fall 2017 MOLLY BROWN HOUSE MUSEUM We Are History i Actio Adrea Malcomb, Museum Director With the help of the State Historical Fud, Historic Dever recetly had 128 years of dirt ad pollutio removed from the façade of the Molly Brow House Museum. Udertake by Buildig Restoratio Specialties, this three-step process ivolved a pressurized water rise, the applicatio of a restoratio masory cleaer, followed by a fial pressurized water rise. Withi miutes, whole sectios of the house s rhyolite ad sadstoe were oce agai as clea as the day the stoe was quarried. A seemigly miraculous erasure of a cetury of dirt seems a appropriate momet to reflect upo what has happeed i America s history as these evirometal pollutats built up. We kow it to be a rich ad complicated history with difficult parts that should ot be igored or erased regardless of our idividual experieces. This momet of reflectio was also ispired by a recet trip to Austi, Texas for the America Associatio of State ad Local History coferece. AASLH s aual meetig is a great opportuity to etwork with others i the public history field, especially as it collectively grapples with maitaiig relevace ad becomig more iclusive ad diverse. The foremost topic of sessios, workshops, ad discussios cetered o how public istitutios should respod to the history-makig evets happeig i America today. Coferece keyote speaker Darre Walker, i discussio with a moderator, respoded to the coferece theme I Am History by otig that each of us eeds to help people uderstad who we are as a atio by tellig deeper stories. Walker curretly serves as Presidet of the Ford Foudatio where he led the committee that helped resolve the city of Detroit s historic bakruptcy ad chairs the U.S. Impact Ivestig Alliace. Prior to joiig Ford, he was Vice Presidet at the Rockefeller Foudatio, where he maaged the Rebuildig New Orleas iitiative after Hurricae Katria, ad i 2016 Walker was amed by Time magazie as oe of the 100 Most Ifluetial People i the World. As the discussio moved to the topic of dismatlig cofederate moumets ad the evets at Charlottesville, Walker wet o to say that, We eed to embrace the ucomfortable arratives couter to the privileges imbedded i history by egagig audieces ad stakeholders with courage. History is complicated we ow have a resposibility to disrupt the fear by beig istitutios that do t remai eutral. Throughout the remaider of the coferece his words were see i actio as sessios tackled arratives such as slavery, chagig views o moumets, ad the forced relocatio of idigeous populatios. Museums ad historic sites o the whole are fidig their place withi the atioal arrative as sites for dialogue ad as sites of cosciece. At the Molly Brow House Museum we are charged by our commuity through civic cultural plas, by our field through the History Relevace Campaig, ad by our fuders both private ad public to be egaged, collaborative, iclusive of all arratives, ad relevat to today s audieces ad issues. We are fortuate to have at the ceter of our arrative a civically egaged woma who believed i equality ad that it was her duty to be a voice for all those margialized ad disefrachised. Through multiple grats from the Natioal Edowmet for the Humaities (NEH) ad the Istitute for Museum ad Library Services (IMLS) as well as other public ad private fuders, we have bee able to apply Margaret s story to a deeper atioal arrative. Tellig the story of such historical evets as Ludlow i 1914 It is t who you are, or what you have, but what you are that couts. Margaret Brow ad the passage of wome s suffrage i 1920, i exhibits ad programs, we have moved beyod the mythic Molly Brow ad the accumulatio of material wealth i America s Gilded Age. Aother way we ca facilitate coversatio is by activatig ew iterpretive spaces at the museum. As we complete two years of restoratio ad reiterpretatio, we have added a servat s bedroom to the daily tour. By opeig this space, visitors are exposed to the daily lives of the home s diverse ad less visible ihabitats. They see what it took to ear a livig i 1900 versus today by comparig miimum wages, costs of livig, fair labor practices, ad evolvig views o quality of life. We will also expad upo the complex story of the history of miig i Colorado with a permaet exhibit i the museum s soo to be opeed educatio ceter. Usig the Progressive Era humaities themes i the history of atural resource extractio i Colorado, the goal is to erich visitor kowledge o how mieral extractio, icludig gold miig ad related idustries, shaped Colorado s people, ad eviromet, ad how that has shaped Dever ito the city it is today. This exhibit will icorporate areas for visitor feedback, iteractio, or reflectio, ad allow for a two-way dialogue betwee today s atural resource issues ad edusers. A multi-sesory STEM learig area i this space ca spark coversatios that compare the extractio practices of a cetury ago ad the evirometally-sesitive dialogues happeig today i Colorado ad across the Uited States. Compoets will also address such topics as the evolutio of the techology ad egieerig of miig, the uses for atural resource materials i our daily lives, ad wome i miig. Lastly, we are creatig a series of public forums that ivite the commuity ito the museum to coect Margaret Brow s story directly to today s headlies. Compellig speakers will guide coversatios desiged to break dow barriers, allow participats to share their experieces, ad lear from oe aother i a safe ad welcomig space. Future topics iclude the evolutio of votig rights, geder iequality i the workforce, ad chagig perceptios of idigeous populatios ad immigratio. The museum recetly welcomed Dr. James Walsh, who spoke o the history of Irish immigrat miers i Leadville who cotributed to the workforce at JJ Brow s Little Johy Mie ad the immigrat domestic staff hired by the Brows for their Dever home. We the brought the coversatio forward by welcomig Cetro Humaitario Para Los Trabajadores (El Cetro), a Dever o-profit that supports Photo: Sigri Strad day laborers ad domestic workers who belog ad cotribute i a sigificat way to their commuities ad the global social chage movemet. Alog with a ewly immigrated domestic worker, this coversatio cetered o the struggles of Colorado s labor force ad became a momet of reflectio o what it is to work i America today. Just as with domestic workers ad miers, the museum ca, as Walker said, take a risk by tellig these deeper stories to create meaig for our lives today. The house s façade ow clea, the house looks as it did whe the Brow family lived here over 100 years ago. Those layers of our past hide coflict ad struggle, but the truth of history is uder there. With the masory clea, ew spaces activated, ad coversatios started, we ca fid the why by explorig the coectios betwee past ad preset. History is complicated but history provides us with researched facts that become tools for shapig those coversatios, uderstadig how far we ve come, ad revealig the work that still eeds to be accomplished. We welcome the commuity to see the restoratio, view the spaces ad participate i these coversatios! = Historic Dever Ic. 5

Commuity Preservatio Awards The Commuity Preservatio Awards are give aually to a hadful of projects, istitutios ad idividuals that have made a exceptioal cotributio to the preservatio of Dever s heritage. These projects exemplify high quality restoratio, the careful cosideratio of the city s historic fabric ad a commitmet to commuity. The wiers of these awards are essetial to Historic Dever s missio ad the orgaizatio takes great pride i recogizig those who assist us i ehacig Dever s built eviromet. The Bosler House Steve ad Ja Davis are the ew owers ad stewards of the Bosler House, oe of Dever s oldest homes, which they have restored to its former glory after several years of serious eglect ad vacacy. The Bosler House is a Territorial House built i 1875 before Colorado received statehood. It was costructed i the same year that the Tow of Highlads was icorporated by oe of the Tow s foudig fathers, Ambrose Bosler. The Italiaate style home was desiged by a otable Dever architect Joh G. Weller. The Davises have completely restored the home, icluded all ew systems, a ew roof structure ad roof, rebuildig of the origial tower, brick-restoratio, widow replacemet with historically appropriate wood widows, ad the beautificatio of the yard. Krisaa Park Coservatio Overlay District Built i the 1950s with architecture ispired by Califoria developer Joseph Eichler, Krisaa Park was the visio of developers Brad Wolff ad his father, H.B. Wolff. All the homes follow a similar patter that provided comfortable livig for families durig Dever s post World War II growth spurt. The eighborhood of early 150 homes is almost etirely itact. I 2014 Historic Dever helped the eighborhood develop a Patter Book to highlight the uique attributes of the mid-cetury homes, ad i 2016 a group of passioate ad orgaized eighbors rallied aroud the coservatio district effort that uses customized zoig to maitai the uique low-slug, mid-cetury character of this pocket eighborhood for aother geeratio. The coservatio district was approved uaimously by Dever City Coucil ad is a great example for the city s other mid-cetury eclaves. Staley Marketplace Staley Marketplace is a adaptive reuse project i the Northwest regio of Aurora, just outside Dever s city limits ad ext door to the Stapleto Neighborhood. Formerly the Staley Aviatio buildig, the buildig was oce the largest employer i the area ad was kow for its iovatios i flight techologies. Staley Aviatio sits right beside the origial locatio of the mai ruway at Stapleto Airport, ad the doors of the evet ceter ope oto what was oce a smaller ruway used exclusively by Staley to test plaes ad equipmet. Usig historic preservatio tax credits, the buildig has bee coverted ito a moder marketplace ad is home to 50 local busiesses offerig food, boutiques ad more. The Goddard School at Steele Gymasium I 2017 David ad Alliso McMurtry completed reovatios of the 1914 Robert Steele Gymasium i the Berkeley Neighborhood, covertig the former church ad youth ceter ito a Goddard School that serves childre uder five. The missio style buildig at 39th & Kig was first a church ad commuity ceter, with a gymasium o the mai floor. The gymasium was erected as a outreach effort of the church to provide recreatioal ad social activities for childre as a meas of fillig their leisure time ad prevetig juveile deliquecy. Its ew use hoors its origial purpose by servig as a learig hub for Dever s youg childre. The site also icludes a Dever Square, which was oce the Mase for the church, which will be retaied ad repurposed as the school grows. Remix Award Shift Workspaces-Baock For the secod time, Historic Dever will preset the Remix Award to a developmet that successfully bleds a existig, udesigated buildig with a ew developmet, a strategy Historic Dever ecourages. This year the award goes to Shift Workspaces for its trasformatio of the old Fistell s Electroics Buildig i the Golde Triagle ito a co-workig space. Fistell s was a maistay i the city for early fifty years, ad was the go-to place for TV tubes ad other electroic equipmet from the early days of home techology. Filled to the rafters with its stock of electroics, Shift Workspaces removed tos of old equipmet before begiig the reovatio, but retaied umerous examples of classic electroics i the buildig s décor. The 1936 buildig s origial timber ceiligs ad brick walls ow mix with a trasparet additio, glassed-i offices ad moder art. The soul of the buildig remais, but it has bee give a ew life for a ew era of Dever busiess. = Historic Dever Ic. 7

Fall 2017 Your brai o Buildigs ~ cotiued from page 1 tour through the eighborhood ad measured participats ski coductace, a respose to emotioal excitemet. Arousal ad mood charted at low levels whe viewig the Whole Foods buildig, ad participats eve hasteed their pace. Their resposes were the opposite whe viewig more typical New York-style shop buildigs oe block away, which were visually diverse. This study further illustrates that curiosity, aticipatio, ad pleasure cotribute to the desigs that make us feel good. Do s work, ad Ellard s study, also illustrate the value i preservig may of the structures we iately love or cosider beautiful, icludig those with classical elemets, symmetrical desig, ad veracular diversity. The historic built eviromet ca be case study #1 for how these elemets support healthy commuities ad happy people. Our secod speaker, Meredith Baasiak, built o Do s discussio of beauty to explore the role of other seses ad how that ca exted beyod the buildig to a larger cotext such as the eighborhood cotext ad city scale. Meredith recouted a study i eurosciece with rats. I the study, rats were moved from ormal cages to eriched eviromets (eviromets that icluded toys ad play thigs for evirometal stimulatio). This evirometal chage was evideced structurally i the brai after just a few days. The rats i the eriched eviromet had greater euro desities ad were performig better o their behavioral tasks; they were gettig smarter. The results of this study are similar to a study of brai desity i Lodo taxi drivers. After two years of taxi driver school, they foud higher euro desities i areas resposible for avigatio, which is the same area where learig occurs. Brais of idividuals that are way fidig were showig spikes of activity. They did ot see these same spikes whe usig hadheld GPS avigatio. Egagemet ad iteractio shapes brai structure for both the short ad log term. That leaves architects with the difficult task of desigig buildigs that have a balace of stimulatio. I his article How Neurosciece Ca Geerate a Healthier Architecture, architectural theorist Nikos A. Saligaros advocates for a covergece of psychology, eurosciece ad architecture so that buildigs ca be desiged for humas well-beig. The key to a healthy city appears to be foud i ature. Saligaros argues that ature is built by stable mathematics, thus humas seek out similar eviromets. He advocates for eviromets built with the cocepts of biophilia humas desire to seek out coectios to other people ad ature as well as fractals ifiite patters foud i ature, such as the Golde Ratio. To further expad o this cocept of desig rooted i atural eviromets, Do bega to look for patters i may of the buildigs that are reowed for their beauty. The Taj Mahal, Patheo, Forbidde City, eve the work of moder architects like Mies Va Der Rohe s follow a top/ceter/bottom, left/middle/right patter that Ruggles refers to as the ie square. Do explaied oe reaso humas may be attracted to the ie-square, our early associatio as ifats of a blurry huma face. Symmetry also plays a large role i the health of a buildig or eighborhood. Saligaros too explais that huma seek out the symmetry of facial features i iaimate objects, icludig buildigs. May studies have come to the same coclusio as Saligaros pairig of architecture ad ature buildigs that follow the elemets of desig foud i ature ad structures close i proximity to ature improve people s health. Accordig to a article by the BBC, a virtual reality study published this year foud that people prefer rooms with curved edges ad rouded cotours. Additioally, Robert Ulrich, a professor of architecture, foud that a atural view from hospital room A Georgia house desiged by Ruggles Mabe Studio, exhibitig the ie-square patter.photo: Peter Vitale The Taj Mahal, Patheo, Forbidde City, eve the work of moder architects like Mies Va Der Rohe s follow a top/ceter/bottom, left/middle/right patter that Ruggles refers to as the ie square. Do explaied oe reaso humas may be attracted to the ie-square, our early associatio as ifats of a blurry huma face. Symmetry also plays a large role i the health ifluece of a buildig or eighborhood. widows improved the healig of patiets. Meredith also explaied that while we ted to thik of our experiece of architecture as highly visual, recet studies have revealed that we do ot have five discrete seses workig i the covetioal way, istead we have multiple sese systems ad yet to be discovered seses. We egage with our eviromet with all our seses i a way that is cross modal, iformatio received by oe sese ca be idetified by aother sese, for example seeig a door may trigger a motor euro respose i the brai because it implies eterig ad exitig. Our brai ca ifer meaig with very limited iformatio because of these uderlyig coectios betwee our seses. Meredith poited to the Achor Ceter for the Blid i Stapleto as a great example of ew architecture that seeks to itetioally egage more seses. Coversely whe sesory iformatio is ot aliged i a eviromet, or there is dissoace i the eviromet caused either by architecture or overstimulatio, it ca lead to feeligs of vertigo as differet seses are processig iformatio that seems to be coflictig. This may i part be a explaatio for the research that demostrates the adverse effects cities ca have o a psychological level. Meredith poited out some startlig statistics about urba stress ad its impact o idividual health. Accordig to several studies, idividuals livig i cities are 40% more likely to develop psychiatric disorders ad 20% more likely to have higher axiety. O top of that, livig i a urba area ca lead to reduced gray matter i areas of the brai associated with stressful experieces early i life. She was also quick to ote that beig aware of how our eviromets impact our well-beig ca help us preserve ad create healthier places. I respose to the same cocer Do quoted Rezo Piao sayig, beauty ca save the world, oe perso at a time. Charles Motgomery, author of Happy City: Trasformig Our Lives Through Urba Desig, is ow takig this thread ito urba desig as well, as he too foud that i areas of high visual iterest, people were five times more likely to offer help to lost pedestrias tha i areas of low visual iterest. At the ed of the forum, both Meredith ad Do stressed that the time to promote the cocept of healthy architecture ad urba desig is ow. A easy way to start is to preserve the historic buildigs, eighborhoods ad civic spaces that we already cosider beautiful, ad which already icorporate the atural patters humas crave. We ca also work to desig ew buildigs that, rather tha creatig dissoace, help our brais thrive. Historic Dever is grateful to Do ad Meredith for takig the time to share their work, ad to the Althea Ceter at 1400 Williams for opeig its beautiful doors to host this thoughtful coversatio o why our work matters from a etirely ew perspective. = Cotet cotributed by Aliso Salutz, Director of Commuity Programs ad Katie Schmidt, Iter Historic Dever Ic. 9
