The two fields of historic preservation and sustainable design include many similar values concerning conservation, yet produce buildings that ultimately look and perform differently. Historic preservation relies on the maintenance of traditional materials to ensure that historic buildings are preserved for future generations. Sustainable design typically works with new construction to create buildings that have little negative impact on the environment. The similarities yet separateness that exist between historic preservation and sustainable design provide a compelling platform to ask how we can combine the two fields within one building project. The combination of these two felds is currently being explored in post-Katrina New Orleans, and I am asking how we can combine historic preservation with aspects of sustainable design to create a sustainable preservation hybrid, or fusion between technological aspects of “green” design with traditional methods of preservation, that will allow historic buildings to maintain their integrity and achieve the values of sustainability. New Orleans provides a great opportunity to examine this question due to the damage caused by Hurricane Katrina and the ensuing efforts to rebuild the city. One specific area of New Orleans, the historic district of Holy Cross, plays home to two key organizations involved in the rebuilding: the Preservation Resource Center, which preserves the existing historic housing stock, and Global Green, which builds new, sustainable design projects. These two organizations work right down the street from one another, yet have yet to combine their building methods or work together on a shared project. This relationship between Global Green/sustainable design and the Preservation Resource Center/historic preservation provides a good opportunity to examine how elements of new sustainable design can be combined with the traditional methods of preservation in order to achieve a sustainable preservation hybrid. I examine the creation of a sustainable preservation hybrid by conducting a literature review, interviews and site visits, and energy modeling. The literature review reveals that preservationists and architects involved with sustainable design like the idea of creating a hybrid, but still lack a thorough understanding of each other’s tacit values. The interviews reveal how the organizations working in Holy Cross also embrace the idea of a sustainable preservation hybrid, yet remain somewhat lost as to how to actually create such a building. The energy modeling then demonstrates which combination of “green” materials from sustainable design and “traditional” materials from historic preservation combine to create a building that achieves both the values of sustainable design and historic preservation. Whether or not we can combine preservation and sustainable design to make a hybrid poses an original and relevant question in the context of post-Katrina New Orleans and elsewhere. Since we are currently facing an energy crisis, the conclusions as to how we can combine these two fields prove how a single, historic building can simultaneously conserve both environmental and historic resources. / text

The theoretical framework and the basis for achieving the purposes of this study were designed from the data collection based on the literature on public management; project management, considering the specificities between private and public administration; about Monumenta Program; and through field research. The field research method was through interviews with actors who participated in establishing and implementing the Monumenta/BID Program, with civil servants working in various spheres of public administration, such as the Ministry of Culture and experts from the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). Therewith, this dissertation, even though it was based on a case study and perceptions of a limited number of interviews with key actors, aims to increase knowledge about causes of difficulties and even failures in implementing Brazilian government projects, bringing lessons learned and enabling the enrichment of intellectual capital on the subject. These contributions, integrated the development agenda of the strategic planning of new projects, will allow policy makers are better able to implement new initiatives in an efficient, effective and efficient, minimizing the uncertainty of the expected results, in addition foster debate and reflections on the subject at all levels of government. The communion of these factors allowed the generation of greater public value associated with better use of resources. / Essa dissertação buscou identificar os desafios que influenciam a implementação de projetos brasileiros de governo a luz da experiência do Programa Monumenta, de Preservação Sustentável do Patrimônio Histórico Brasileiro e o que pode ser feito para que essa etapa de política pública alcance sucesso. O arcabouço teórico e os fundamentos para o alcance dos objetivos do presente estudo foram concebidos a partir da coleta de dados baseada na literatura sobre gestão pública; gerenciamento de projetos, considerando as especificidades entre administração privada e pública; sobre o Programa Monumenta; e através de pesquisa de campo. O método da pesquisa de campo deu-se por meio de entrevistas com atores que participaram da elaboração e execução do Programa Monumenta, com servidores públicos que atuam nas diversas esferas da administração pública, como o Ministério da Cultura (MinC), e com especialistas do Banco Interamericano de Desenvolvimento (BID) e da Organização das Nações Unidas para a Educação, a Ciência e a Cultura (UNESCO). Com isso, essa dissertação, mesmo tendo sido baseada em um estudo de caso e em percepções de um número restrito de entrevistas com atores-chave, pretende ampliar o conhecimento sobre causas de dificuldades e até de fracassos na implementação de projetos brasileiros de governo, trazendo lições aprendidas e possibilitando o enriquecimento do capital intelectual sobre o tema. Estas contribuições, integradas a pauta de elaboração do planejamento estratégico de novos projetos, permitirão aos formuladores de políticas públicas estarem mais aptos a executarem novas iniciativas de forma eficiente, eficaz e efetiva, minimizando a incerteza dos resultados esperados, além de fomentarem o debate e as reflexões sobre o tema em todos os níveis de governo. A comunhão desses fatores permitirá a geração de maior valor público associado a melhor utilização de recursos.
