PAGE IT-PLAINDEAIJEB-WEDNESDAY, AUGUST a. MM Business Many cities are returning to regional architecture Real estate class offered class will meet Wednesday By Yvour Beer, executive vice- presideat, McHenry Coanty Board of Realtors As travelers move around 'from one part of the country to another, they are amazed at the erences in types of housing. Architectural regionalism, that is used to define the in- vidual character of cities, is a sort of revival. Universal construction formulas aren't working as well as in the past, in part because of higher energy costs. Architects are realizing that they have to adapt buildings to such local characteristics as climate, lifestyle and ' availability of materials. As a 'result, some areas of the 'country are becoming more identifiable by the design of their homes and buildings. Homes on Cape Cod traditionally had long roofs facing north to protect against the winds and small windows to reduce heat loss. In contrast, homes along the humid Georgia coast had high ceilings that let warm air rise, tall windows to ease the air flow and shady ptorches. Even the position of rooms traditionally varied from one part of the country to the other. Homes in the south had parlors on the north side of the house. In the northeast, kitchens and breakfast rooms were found on the east side with living rooms on the west. Because of cheap energy and the growing use of air con ditioning after World War n, it was possible to be comfortable anywhere in the house without regard to traditional design Regional differences in home construction all but disap peared, and cities began to lose their personality. When Americans began turning down their thermostats, buying low wattage light bulbs, and installing storm windows and insulation, architects took a new look at utility bills and decided it was time to mab some changes. To the delight of cultural heritage and historical preservation groups, the value of tarditional design reap peared. While not all historic designs are practical today, new construction techniques com bined with a traditional ap proach appear to be making economic sense. * Real estate transactions, the basic course needed to obtain an Illinois sales license in real estate, wiD be offered in Sep tember and October Held in Schaumburg, the September class will begin Monday, Sept. 10, from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. at the Regional Training Center, 1375 E.
