Seminar

The Techniques and Metrics of Sustainable Urbanism
Thursday October 30 - 9:00 am – 5:00 pm
A Full-Day Seminar

Sustainable urbanism – with its transit-served urbanism and high performance buildings and infrastructure – is gaining wide international acceptance. It does, however, require a fresh approach to our professional routines and a common shared vision of the future. Leading this all-day seminar is Douglas Farr, founding principal of Farr Associates, an award-winning architecture and planning firm widely regarded as one of the most sustainability-oriented design practices in the country.  Participants will be led through the techniques and metrics outlined in Farr’s book and also will participate in a hands-on design workshop to design a sustainable diverse neighborhood and an energy-efficient sustainable corridor.

Fee: $350 for the full day; includes copy of Sustainable Urbanism: Urban Design with Nature
