Sadly, I won't be at GreenBuild this year. HOWEVER, having just returned form Tx Architects annual convention want to bring your attention to a fantastic talk given by Keith Simons on 100 year and Beyond Buildings - by Design. Very moving talk questioning why we architects are not DESIGNING our buildings to be more climate-change responsive, and instead continue to rely on THINGS (lipstick???) being added onto marginal designs when it comes to resilience, health, long-term durability, and overall climate- responsiveness. I highly recommend you seek Keith Simon's talks out.

Quick update! We had to change the venue to Audiograph Brew Co. The location is still 4 blocks away and within a 5 to 10 minute walk from Greenbuild. Details below. Please share!
