Underrepresented Architecture Students Chart Future Careers Through the Forest
Earlier this fall, I had an amazing day at the Austin Carey Forest Campus, which is part of the University of Florida in Gainesville. The morning consisted of a tour of the 2,000-acre Austin Carey Forest in the company of nearly 40 architecture students from the University of Miami School of Architecture and Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University. We inspected and learned about various managed sections in the forest.
SFI at the USGBC GreenBuild Expo
This is the 5th year SFI has participated in the USGBC’s Green Build Expo, and over the years the SFI team has spent countless hours in the exhibit hall talking with architects, developers, and policy makers, among others, about sustainability, about the important role of forest certification, and about the evolution of green building.
Certification and Public Lands
I’ve been thinking about the value of certification for all lands, as we finalize SFI’s submission to the U.S. Forest Service.
SFI and LEED
SFI welcomes the work the USGBC is doing. Their work and the inclusive approach they are considering reflects the direction many other green building programs have taken.
SFI’s Annual Conference
