Green

[close] This group aims to explore the union between spirituality and ecology because thinking and acting in harmony with the natural order of the universe is a necessary prerequisite to planetary healing.

[close] This is a group dedicated to exploring the interface between Architecture and Environmental Sustainability. Individual topics will vary from those solely addressing architecture, to those solely expanding the topic of sustaining life on earth as we know it; but the emphasis is on how the profession of architecture and building as a system addresses the problem of efficiently utilizing finite resources to create culturally significant artifacts without diminishing the natural resources that future generations will depend on. Building Information Modeling, Integrated Project Delivery, CAD/CAM direct fabrication and the shifting of systemic roles within the building design and production process will all be central themes to our discourse.

[close] A sustainability-related book club based in Honolulu, Hawaii and online for anyone everywhere! Greening our minds, one book at a time. For updates and meeting locations, please email espiritu.justine@gmail.com to get onto the email list! We meet on the last TUESDAY of every month at alternating members' homes (in Hawaii) for a pot-luck and discussion. We welcome all readers (and even those who didn’t get around to reading the book) to attend. It is optional, but you're invited to bring your own plate/cup/utensils and a food dish to share with the aim of incorporating as many locally grown ingredients as possible! Feel free to make book suggestions or join in on our discussion board below. For more information: http://www.risehi.org/rise-news/the-greener-reader/
