Tenants in full glass +$million-homes, built after @Tate extension, win in court because we can see into their homes... Next, they'll want to gate off #Thames! @RIBA_London petition to keep the platform open. Best FREE views of #London, not just for rich architectsjournal.co.uk/news/neo-banks…

A thought provoking read on the role/#ethics of #smartbuildings - something taken for granted but not regularly addressed in great depth within architectural discourse. theconversation.com/smart-building…

eventbrite.com/e/michigan-wom… @NORR_AEP is looking forward to the @USGBC_Detroit #WomenInGreen event coming 12/7 at 4pm!

Check out this article revealing the secret ingredient for long-lasting, self-healing Roman concrete. This could hold insight for today's #builders to promote #sustainability/#resiliency as we seek #CarbonReduction solutions to tackle the #ClimateCrisis! cnn.com/style/article/…

Check out this interactive map of all @Living_Future registered & certified projects, to date. It's amazing to see the idea of a #LivingFuture catching on & how far it's come in just over a decade! trimtab.living-future.org/living-buildin…

Sharing this great read from @ArchitectsJrnal on how @FCBStudios refurbished two buildings on the @BRE_Group campus (incl. their own 96' project) to promote cost-effective, practical solutions for #sustainability, #circularity & #existingbuildings. architectsjournal.co.uk/buildings/revi…

For anyone interested in @SEI_SE2050, lowering #EmbodiedCarbon, #StructuralEngineering, #Architecture, and/or #DesignTechnology, check out this interesting read from Michael Gustafson of @Qnectllc on @AECbytes on all these topics, and more: aecbytes.com/viewpoint/2022…

I'm speaking this Monday, 4:30pm EST, @BSAAIA Building Envelope Council hybrid event, sharing my prior work on #multifamily building envelopes & their contribution towards phased #carboneutrality by 2050 @CityOfBoston. To register: architects.org/events/538759/… @NORR_AEP

Came across this interesting read this morning, while I was simultaneously dreaming of a European vacation and a net-zero world... cnn.com/travel/article…

I just learned about this online resource promoting #ArchitecturalSalvage, #MaterialsReuse, #Circularity & more. What an amazing database connecting the dots so #EmbodiedCarbon can be easily reduced & so that perfectly good products avoid landfilling! allforreuse.org/ecosystem-map

After meeting colleagues at the @NORR_AEP retreat, I'm even more excited about my new role as Director of Sustainability & the amazing things we we'll do together promoting #sustainability, #wellness, #resiliency, & #equity across the #builtenvirionment. #MakeAmericaGreenAgain!
