MPA Featured in Domes Article

Proud to be a small part of this incredible article by Virginia Small. A very important conversation not yet seen in the media.
Demolition of a building is often “one of the least-environmentally-sustainable options,” according to Rudd. “It’s not a foreign concept that the greenest building is one that is already built,” she said. Environmentalists consider and calculate “embodied energy, which is the cumulated investments of materials and energy in existing buildings, combined with the carbon inputs required to destroy a building and haul away its contents.” She added that it usually takes decades to recoup the energy costs and other investments required to replace an existing building, even when replaced with a new, “green building.” Thus, those “sunk costs” must be added to the outright demolition costs, she said.

​Open the Winter 2023 issue of Preservation Magazine, the official publication of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, and you'll be treated to a 10-page photo essay on our beloved Domes highlighting their incredible value as well as the danger they face. The attention paid to the Domes on a national level is an indication that this magical place is special not just to the neighborhood, the County, and the region, but to the nation as well. The eyes of America are on Milwaukee, watching how we treat our unique and acclaimed architectural and cultural treasure.
