The Brower Symposium
Building Green :: Who Learned What From Whom?

Architecture
Greenness
Contextualism

A conversation celebrating the opening of Berkeley’s David Brower Center.

What does ‘green building’ mean to the profession of architecture and architectural education? Are collaboration and multi-disciplinarity teachable? What is the architect’s role in a big, green collaboration? What can we say about greenness, urbanism, contextuality and the legacy of modern architecture?
