How homes are conceived, clustered, and constructed can be the foundation for building community or breaking it. Homes involve personal factors such as how individuals live today and how the home can adapt to the changes of our stages of life over time, making them one of the most dynamic and diverse kinds of projects for architects. From single-family to affordable housing, homes invoke environmental factors of climate action - such as what we build them out of, material, how much energy they use, design, and how long they will serve their purpose before being torn down, resiliency. Housing is complex and prolific. Tuesday, March 8, 2022 at 5:30 pm, virtually, Wyly Brown will present some of the complexities of designing quality housing that is environmentally sustainable, socially responsible, and financially feasible. Topics of focus will include Net-Zero energy use, minimizing a home's carbon footprint, affordability, multi-generation living, retrofitting existing (and historic) buildings to enable aging in place, and the use of recycled materials and products. SPEAKER Wyly Brown, Founding Partner, Leupold Brown Goldbach Architekten and Assistant Professor, Washington University in St. Louis, Sam Fox School Wyly Brown is a Founding Partner of Leupold Brown Goldbach Architekten, and the partner responsible for the projects conducted in North America.

People in every corner of the planet need our food system to be sustainable, secure, and just. Yet consumption of conventionally produced animal meat—which causes multiple existential risks (climate change, antibiotic resistance, pandemic risk, loss of biodiversity)—continues to rise. Alternative proteins—meat made from plants or cultivated from animal cells—can decouple meat production from a host of harms and usher in a more restorative, resilient food future. Given that taste, price, and convenience determine what most people eat, GFI works around the world to advance alternative proteins to be as delicious, affordable, and accessible as conventional meat. By reimagining how meat is made, we can help get the world to net-zero emissions, protect global health, feed more people with fewer resources, and enable animals and ecosystems to recover and thrive. FEATURED GUEST Sheila Voss, Vice President of Communications, The Good Food Institute Voss serves as the vice president of communications for The Good Food Institute, an international network of nonprofit organizations working to create a sustainable, secure, and just food system. As a nonprofit think tank and open-access resource hub powered by philanthropy, GFI works around the world to advance alternative protein science, policy, and markets to tackle the biggest challenges of our time: getting to net-zero emissions, feeding 10 billion, protecting global health,… Continue Reading COFFEE BREAK: Alternative Proteins are to Agriculture as Renewables are to Energy: The Future |
