Invisible Structures: Strategies Beyond Building Green

January 06 - 08, 2010 - Warren, VT

Designing and developing sustainable community is about more than just buildings. Buildings often last only 25 to 50 years before they need substantial re-investment, but sustainable economic, social and cultural fabric creates communities that will choose a sustainable future for generations to come. This course will practically examine what economic, legal, contractual, cultural, marketing and communications strategies -- so-called "invisible structures" -- can be combined with sustainable building practices to initiate long term sustainable communities. Students will develop a long term sustainability strategy for a real development to be built and are encouraged to bring their own projects for discussion. All Levels. Please Note: This class will begin at 7pm on Friday.
