Today's lecture with John Linn noted Architecture and Teacher, was about AIA 2030 CHALLENGE a case study in sustainability. Thoughts to consider imagine a place called home what would we see. He compared the human existence as a storm on the planet earth.
The impact of human activity vs impact of sustainability.
We are agents for transformation constructive and destructive dynamic events not a place
but a process. That all life is interconnected. He spoke about Ed Mazria of New Mexico that the 2010 Vision is imperative now eventually leading to 2030 challenge for zero carbon in building use,not to use carbon products. ( I'm not sure this is possible since all earth has carbon in it energy even people living on this planet.)
Mr. Linn spoke about use and reuse renovating old buildings to be more energy efficient rather than tear them down to make innovations to renew or modernized historic building for future use. His speciality are old Cathedrals across the country. One in particular is Christ Cathedral as a LEED building preservation work with what already exist. Leadership Energy Architecture Design. He also spoke about Leeds NC Platinum program: preservation program to work with what already exist. He spoke about Henry Hobson Richardson (1872-77) change is an internal system.
There are 60 programs to do Green Homes in Greensboro NC. In conclusion he told us to Stop and Reflect about sustainability Balance, Reuse,Spirals...Know the Storm, Find the Beauty, Trust the Beauty and Live the Beauty Sustainability.

I really enjoyed his interesting lecture and in economic and ecological times today we all really need to Think and Do more to preserve what we have and reserve the energy and"live simply so that others can simply live". quote from author unknown.
