All architects and designers are invited to earn AIA/CES credits during the "Sustainable Design with Fabric" symposium on Oct 2, 2007, held prior to IFAI Expo 2007. IFAI Expo will run Oct 3-5 at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
Sustainability in building design is an exciting trend for architects, as it allows design to merge with environmentally sensitive building techniques.
Consumers increasingly ask for environmentally friendly methods as concerns about human impact on the earth and global warming continue to gain importance in the popular culture.
The "Sustainable Design with Fabric" symposium will show architects how to design with this trend in mind. This exciting educational event boasts an impressive line up of experts speaking on important breakthrough topics in fabric architecture and structure design.
They'll answer common questions about using fabric, energy-saving concepts and green building sources-empowering attendees to translate their new knowledge into real designs for clients.
"Great design is a marriage of art and science, but so far sustainability has focused on science and has neglected art," says well-known speaker Lance Hosey, AIA, LEED AP, Director, William McDonough + Partners.
During his keynote presentation "The Shape of Green: Aesthetics, Ecology and Design," Hosey will explore the idea of designing to be sustainable, demonstrating the connection between environmental performance and architectural form.
