Training and Lectures

Our staff travels throughout the country to conduct lectures and educational workshops to teach the scientific foundation and practical applications of “green” development strategies. The depth of our built work allows us to tie visionary ideas to construction techniques and long term maintenance strategies.  We have a keen ability to communicate this understanding to a broad variety of practitioners, educators, students, decision makers, and the general public. We also partner with universities to bring professional practice and expertise to studio courses.
