Matter & Opinion: Existing Buildings - Residential Design, August 23, 12-1:30pm
Event Description
"Build the will" around smart and sustainable renovation of single-family homes.
Boston cannot meet its climate goals without utilizing its greatest built and cultural assets: existing buildings. With aims to become carbon-free by 2050—and with 85 percent of floorspace that Boston will need in 2050 already built—we must recognize and leverage existing buildings for what they are: banks of embodied carbon and material resources, opportunities for improving efficiency, community anchors, and compelling design challenges.
The Matter & Opinion: Existing Buildings series will begin by addressing the first hurdle to embracing existing buildings as climate solutions: building the will.

Each presentation features two firms, two clients, and two project stories. Client-and-designer teams will come together to share their experiences with specific projects, and to open up a collective discussion about challenges, benefits, and ways to build the will around continued use and reuse projects.
