Materials Experts in Los Angeles

Hi everyone,

Since I know we have a lot of talented people in this group, I'd like to reach out to those of you based in Los Angeles and see if anyone is interested in talking at an upcoming Living Building Challenge collaborative event.  The topic of the meeting is "Selecting Healthy Materials 101: From the perspectives of manufacturers, contractors and architects".

So far we have a contractor talking about sourcing healthy materials on an LBC project, and a product rep that will be speaking about the process of getting a Declare label.  We'd love to add an architect or spec-writer to the speaker group, to discuss the process of selecting healthy materials that also meet design requirements.  

This event is scheduled for the evening of Wednesday March 20th.  Please let me know if you, or someone you know, would be interested in speaking.

In other news, AIA LA COTE just had their first ever Symposium on Climate Change, and it was a fantastic turnout!  I'm so happy with the momentum in Los Angeles and hope to keep it going!

Hi Avideh, The link to the symposium didn’t work for me. I found the program on line, but if it was recorded, I would love to get a link to that. Many thanks.

I could help you out potentially. I am working on a Living Building here at the City of Santa Monica (owner side) and deeply entrenched in the materials. Our architect is Fredric Fisher Partners and I could see if one of them could join as well, if helpful. email me directly at amber.richane at smgov.net

Avideh, if you still need an architect I can get someone from SmithGroup's office to present on the architects perspective in selecting healthy materials!  Let me know!

Donald, yes, that would be great.  What is your email address?
