The Green Building Forum is held on the third Wednesday of each month (except December) at 6:30 PM and features presentations by green building practitioners followed by discussion. The events are always free and open to the general public.
This month’s topic is BIG GREEN – in recent years in we have been seeing many new green buildings and public spaces popping up all over the world. But what does it take to create these BIG green projects? This month, architects and urban designers will delve into the complexities of how these projects get built. Join us at Trespa’s showroom where speakers from three architectural and urban design firms,
Gensler, Cook + Fox and
West 8, will explore the issues of bringing green projects from blueprints to actuality.
When: Wednesday, September 16 from 6:30-8PM
Where: Trespa Showroom (62 Greene Street between Broome and Spring)
