Join us Saturday, August 20, 2016,  from 1 pm to 5 pm for a one day conference followed by a reception.

Four long-established architects explored recent projects that contain innovative ideas in the integration of high conservation and alternate energy solutions with real world conditions and constraints. Roc Caivano in Maine converted a military base brick building to a state of the art research facility. Lawrence Linder Louisiana has created a generic housing type that can restore urban street fronts broken by parking lots, increasing density, and be aloof from flooding. Robert Shannon in New Mexico has combined a new type of SIPS panel with aerated-autoclaved concrete exterior panels and solar air collectors to produce 3 residential structures. Dan Scully in New Hampshire has restored a 19th century mansion designed by Peabody and Stern into a carbon neutral future.

Each discussed their projects (which were also presented on the gallery walls from 8/20/9/10) with Q&A, and then a reception with food and drink followed.

This was a free event sponsored by the Foundation.
