What happens when the natural world meets the man-made?
Architecture is often viewed as an intrusion; the “built” world cannot exist without changing and re-shaping the natural one. But this process need not be destructive.
How does architecture complement the natural world?
Like nature, architecture adapts. The “built” world can dominate the natural one, but it can also become a part of it. When the two successfully coexist, the beauty of both can emerge.
The next Green Advisor Program happy hour will be held on August 19th, and will focus on the topic of using geothermal energy on a campus or district scale.
Our panelists will include:
Dave Ebsen, director of Facilities at Oregon Institute of Technology
Toni Boyd, Assistant Director of the Geo-Heat center at OIT
As always AIA Continuing Education Units are provided, the event will be catered, and beer and wine will be available.
