Plan to attend the Historic New England Summit 2023 in Providence, Rhode Island on November 2 and 3 convening leading voices in a panel discussing Embodied Carbon: The Sustainability Imperative of Preserving Places. How can we transform the predominant perception of buildings as expendable assets into a perspective where they are recognized as vital instruments in combatting climate change and addressing social disparities? Achieving this paradigm shift necessitates a multidisciplinary approach encompassing adaptive reuse, deconstruction, and innovative construction methods. This approach is essential for reshaping the discourse surrounding building lifecycles, whether existing or new, and for achieving the ambitious objectives of net-zero emissions and zero-waste sustainability.
Moderator Philip Kennicott is Senior Art and Architecture Critic for the Washington Post. He will be joined by Dan Bergsagel, Sustainability Lead at schlaich bergermann, Rebecca Berry, AIA, LEED AP, and Jonathan Rosenbloom, Professor of Law at Albany Law School and Executive Director, Sustainable Development Code.
