SUMMARY:Designing Housing to Adapt to the Changing Needs of Families\, Neighborhoods\, Cities\, and our Natural Environment
DESCRIPTION: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.  \nFrom 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. \nTuesday\, 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. \nSPEAKER \n\nWyly Brown\, Founding Partner\, Leupold Brown Goldbach Architekten and Assistant Professor\, Washington University in St. Louis\, Sam Fox School \n\nWyly Brown is a Founding Partner of Leupold Brown Goldbach Architekten\, and the partner responsible for the projects conducted in North America. Wyly holds a Bachelors of Art in Anthropology\, and spent a number of years researching the connection between cultures and monuments through the reconstruction of full-scale\, functional objects\, often using historically accurate methods. Past projects include the reconstruction of Finnish reindeer-pulled sledges\, Egyptian obelisks\, British siege-engines\, and Medieval man-powered cranes. \nAfter receiving a Masters of Architecture from Harvard University in 2006\, he spent two years conducting research at the Institute of Lightweight Structures and Conceptual Design\, University of Stuttgart on the topic of rapidly deployable disaster relief structures. In 2008\, due to Wyly’s experience in innovative approaches to structural optimization\, he was hired at Behnisch Architekten. In the four years at Behnisch\, Wyly developed parametric optimization design tools that were implemented on several award winning projects\, including the Max-Aicher Speed Skating Arena in Inzell\, the “Spider’s Web” of the Spinnereipark in Kolbermoor\, and a High School in Ergolding. \nIn 2014\, he founded LBGO architects in Munich\, with Andreas Leupold and Christian Goldbach. He approaches design through a process of analysis and optimization\, searching for simple unified solutions to complex\, and often contradicting\, requirements. In addition to his professional practice\, Wyly taught parametric design and fabrication methods as an adjunct faculty member at the Chair for Architectural Informatics of the Technical University Munich in Germany. Upon returning to the US in 2016 to open a Boston branch of his architectural practice he continued teaching through Massachusetts College of Art and Design\, focusing on Design-Build Community Service courses combining his academic pursuits with his professional experience. Wyly is a licensed architect in both Germany and in the United States\, and continues to practice architecture while also conducting research on innovative natural building materials as a professor at Washington University in St. Louis. \nClick here to view video recording of event \nClick here to view list of attendees

SUMMARY:COFFEE BREAK: Alternative Proteins are to Agriculture as Renewables are to Energy: The Future
DESCRIPTION: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. \nAlternative 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. \nBy 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. \nFEATURED GUEST \n\nSheila Voss\, Vice President of Communications\, The Good Food Institute\n\nVoss 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\, and enabling animals and ecosystems to recover and thrive. Prior to joining GFI\, Sheila served as the vice president of education for Missouri Botanical Garden from 2009-2019\, and from 1996-2019\, led the conservation and community engagement work of the SeaWorld\, Busch Gardens\, and Discovery Cove parks across the U.S. Sheila holds a B.A. in English from Pennsylvania State University and a M.S. in Environmental Sciences from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville. \nClick here to watch a recording of this Coffee Break!
