The City of Eugene and the Eugene branch of the Cascadia Region Green Building Council are sponsoring a presentation and social hour, “Living Buildings and Communities” on Thursday, February 18 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at Davis’ Restaurant and Bar (94 West Broadway).
Presenter Eden Brukman will help us imagine creating buildings and communities that are truly sustainable – buildings that generate energy, capture and treat water, and operate efficiently with maximum beauty; and neighborhoods that share resources, grow food, and function without dependency on fossil-fuel-based transportation.
Brukman is the vice president of the International Living Building Institute and research director for the Cascadia Region Green Building Council. An architect and sustainable building advisor, she has focused her career on incorporating socially and environmentally responsible strategies into design and construction. Since 1996, her work has included research and implementation of sustainable policies, particularly related to building certification and the specification of appropriate building materials.
Cascadia members and full-time students can attend the presentation for free. The cost for non-members is $5. RSVP online or call 541.682.5541. Visit the website for more information.
