Greening the American house

Residential Architect, July, 2005

December 5-7, 2005

The Biltmore Hotel

Coral Gables, FL

Join us for residential architect's 2nd annual Reinvention 2005 Symposium and learn about the broader landscape of livable design, focusing on the essential themes that inform all great residential architecture.

Discuss the future of sustainable housing and green building and hear from the leading experts in attainable sustainable design. Address green design as a whole--from material selection to regional considerations to integrating green design into the community.

Join peers from across the country for this discussion on the next phase in architectural design.

Program highlights include:

Regionalism as Green Design--Rediscover what regional traditions can teach us about climate-, material-, and site-sensitive design.

Paradigms of Place--Look beyond the house to neighborhoods and towns that weave sustainability into the fabric of the community.

Sustainable Materials and Methods--Are the greenest materials old favorites like stone, wood, and glass? Or are engineered products the high-performance building blocks of the future?

Future Shades of Green--Multidisciplinary practitioners discuss how our living environment may change as we truly embrace sustainable design.
