How will we build and restore more sustainably, and more affordably? How can we help each other to do so, through collaborative strategies?
INTBAU-USA CONFERENCE AND TOUR, CHICAGO, OCTOBER 20-23, 2010 The USA Chapter of INTBAU is very pleased to announce its upcoming annual conference and tour events at the Traditional Building Exhibition and Conference, October 20-23, 2010 at the beautiful Navy Pier on Chicago's waterfront. Attendees will have the opportunity to participate in a wide range of conference events hosted by Traditional Building magazine, including an exhibition of the latest products and ideas in traditional building and urbanism. This year’s conference events are themed to a topic on everyone’s mind: “how do we make traditional and historic buildings energy efficient, while also preserving their livable character?" This subject and much more will be presented in 50 seminars, workshops, architectural tours, keynotes and craftsmanship demonstrations in a four day event. Come for one day or all four. Additional sessions include: historic tax credits, infill development and downtown revitalization, window restoration, life cycle maintenance for historic facilities, period interior design, LEED for historic buildings, plaster repair, old house restoration and sympathetic additions to historic buildings. Friday, October 22, join us for the INTBAU Annual Symposium on "New Tools for Adaptive Re-use: The Hardware and the Software." Speakers will include Steven Semes, author of The Future of the Past, and Steve Mouzon, author of The Original Green. Other featured speakers include Ethan Anthony of HDB/Cram and Ferguson Architects, and Gersil Kay of Building Conservation International. INTBAU members will also have an opportunity to share and discuss their own work. (1:15 pm- 3:45 pm) On Saturday, October 23, join us on a fascinating tour with Doug Farr, author of Sustainable Urbanism, and inaugural chair of the LEED-ND development project. Tour sites will include the Chicago Center for Green Technology, the first adaptive re-use of a municipal building to receive a LEED Platinum certification; City Hall, an adaptive re-use with a stunning 20,300 SF green roof (pending confirmation); and an impressive bungalow neighborhood near Lincoln Square that has had significant green retrofits. Chicago architect Ann Clark will meet up and show us several of these impressive projects. Don't miss it! (11:15 AM-2:30 PM) Further information For more information, or to register, go to:
