1.5 credits/RIBA CPD-approved course

It didn’t all start with LEED. Efforts to reconcile the demands of the contemporary built environment with the demands of the natural world and finite resources have been going on around the world for at least the last fifty years –in some places they have been going on for millenia. For at least the last thirty years, significant green advances in building products, systems, planning and design, and design theory have been going on in Europe, Asia, South America, and Australia-New Zealand as well as in North America. This course will examine the most innovative and exciting green design approaches, projects, policies and programs from around the world. While not all of these are transferable across cultural and geographic boundaries, this course is offered in the belief that as we face the increasingly urgent need to build sustainably, we can all learn from each other.

Kath Williams + Associates competed as one of the six finalists to design the new Smithsonian Museum on the National Mall in Washington, DC. In partnership with Moody-Nolan, Inc. of Columbus, Ohio, and Antoine Predock of Albuquerque, New Mexico, the team developed their concept and model for the green building which will house the new National Museum of African American History and Culture. Although not ultimately chosen by the jury, this concept design was highly acclaimed by the public and the jury, who gave the team a standing ovation.
