Green Gurus -
I’m honored to be co-chairing, along with Caryn Brause FAIA, the ACSA/AIA Intersections Research conference at UMass Amherst October 2023. The theme, "Material Economies," was developed with an eye for inclusivity for academics and practitioners alike, addressing critical emerging issues around architectural material supply chains, including embodied carbon, material transparency, social equity, circularity, and innovation.Link: https://www.acsa-arch.org/conference/2023-acsa-aia-intersections-research-conference-material-economies/
Abstracts are due on June 7, 2023. The call solicits abstracts and case studies (as well as conference reviewers) across academia and professional practice. I encourage you and your colleague to consider submitting, and I Iook forward to the conference, and learning from your research, product development, and/or material design innovations.
Please forward to any interested parties, thank you.
