NBM Lecture Highlights 21st Century Workplace
You’re invited to “Preserving Modernism in a Green World,” June 30

The National Building Museum invites you to learn about when preservation and sustainability meet—or don't meet—in the preservation of buildings of the Modern era through the “Preserving Modernism in a Green World” lecture, June 30, 6:30–8:30 p.m. Using the AIA headquarters’ own 21st Century Workplace project as a case study, moderator Vernon Mays, editor-at-large for Architect magazine, will guide panelists through consideration of whether new technologies and renovation strategies provide a plausible future for these buildings from the recent past. Serving as panelists will be Barbara A. Campagna, AIA, LEED-AP, Graham Gund Architect of the National Trust for Historic Preservation; Christopher Davis, Assoc. AIA, LEED-AP, LEED® certification coordinator for the U.S. Green Building Council; James A. Gatsch, FAIA, managing director, 21st Century Workplace, AIA; and Abram Goodrich, associate principal, STUDIOS Architecture, the project’s architect. Participants can earn 1.5 LUs; the cost is $12 for museum members and students, and $20 for non-members. For more information or to register, visit the National Building Museum Web site.
