Architecture, at its best, embodies our wisest systems knowledge.  It provides for human thriving while integrating within all regenerative systems that support the thriving of all life.  Positive feedback loops within this type of infrastructure can ensure that abundance is ever increasing, rather than degrading. How can our cities deploy our best understanding of regenerative stewardship? Can urban architecture support best practices within sibling systems such as agriculture, land use,…

This workshop will introduce participants to the new Honeybee-PH software toolkit. This software allows users who are familiar with the Rhino, Grasshopper, and Honeybee tools to quickly move their building energy models into the powerful WUFI-Passive and PHPP calculators in order to assess heating, cooling demand as well as overall building energy usage. This hands-on workshop will demonstrate both the basic usage of this powerful toolkit and how to configure…

Cities such as New York are at serious risk from climate change, and have the power and responsibility to take the lead on solutions. This Symposium will explore potential scalable regenerative technologies for the world’s largest urban constructed environments. The material science of carbon storing building components is receiving much needed attention, but scalable solutions need wider adoption and development. The building industry is focused on reaching carbon neutrality in…
