Spotlight on Design: Building in the City's Parks
Thursday, July 24, 6:30 pm

Designing new buildings for parks offers some of the greatest challenges and opportunities in urban architecture today, including the use of lawns as roofs. buildings as armatures for tapestries of living plants, wind turbines, passive and active solar power, and building textures evocative of owl feathers.
