*Guest Speaker Series on **Architecture and Green Building Practices*
Wednesday, April 16, 7-8:30pm
Topic: Buildings, Communities and Cities: Researching for Zero Carbon
Solutions
Guest Speaker: Veronica Gillies, MRAIC, MAIBC, LEED^® AP, BUSBY PERKINS
+ WILL
Cities are the key to successfully achieving a sustainable future for
everyone. Cities provide utility services but also through zoning
regulation density and land use provide transit and roads, and through
bylaws regulate building design and construction.
Community action within cities will act as the catalyst for zero carbon
solutions. The scale of communities makes them an ideal catalyst for the
types of synergies required for deep green solutions to our energy and
carbon emissions challenges. The presentation will take an in-depth look
at sustainable buildings; buildings at the community level and cities to
address their impact on climate change.
Wednesday, April 30. 7-8:30pm
Topic: Sustainability at Home
Guest Speaker: Dr. Freda Pagani, Architect and a Fellow of the Royal
Architectural Institute of Canada, Founding Director of UBC Campus
Sustainability Office
Dr. Freda Pagani, long-term resident of West Vancouver, cares deeply
about the earth, but also about the quality of life in our community.
She believes we need more affordable and diverse housing types in order
to maintain the character of the municipality. Her passion for green
building led to the development of the C.K.Choi Building at the
University of British Columbia. It, along with a few other buildings,
became a catalyst for the green building movement in Canada and won one
of the top ten Green Buildings awards from the American Institute of
Architects. Dr. Pagani will discuss ways to preserve the physical
quality of West Vancouver, while improving our ecological footprint. The
presentation will cover the history of the green building industry in
the Lower Mainland and recent initiatives, which could further reduce
our dependency on fossil fuels.
Wednesday, May 14, 7-8:30pm
Topic: Designing Of the Hill, Not On the Hill
Guest Speakers: Kim Smith and Bo Helliwell of Blue Sky Architecture
Peter Davey stated in Picturesque, Tectonic, Romantic Helliwell + Smith
Blue Sky Architecture (1999) that "Helliwell and Smith are the
inheritors of the organic tradition of modernism". A building that is
well-designed for its site will enhance an appreciation of the
surrounding environment and amplify long-term sustainable values. By
using examples of recent award-winning work, Helliwell and Smith will
illustrate their approach to design, including Wakefield Beach Homes in
Sechelt, a home in Eagle Harbour and several homes in the Gulf Islands.
