In this episode of Distillations, From the Distillations website:
Majestic old buildings testify to the rich history of cities across the world. But why do some of these buildings seem unaged while others rotĀ just blocks away? The answer, sometimes, is science. On today’s episode ofĀ DistillationsĀ we’re looking at the role of chemistry in neighborhood preservation. First, producerĀ Alex LewisĀ shares the efforts of a Philadelphia-based congregation trying to saveĀ its crumbling church. Then we talk to theĀ Delaware Valley Green Building Council‘sĀ Heather BlakesleeĀ about how architects and developers restore aging structures to live new and greener lives.
