Architectural Conservancy of Ontario – Buildings as Resources: Material Conservation & Sustainability Symposium

We are excited to announce that Sheena Sharp will be a panelist on the Buildings as Resources: Material Conservation & Sustainability symposium being hosted by the Architectural Conservancy of Ontario on April 25th, 2020.

Questions which the panelists are being asked:

What if saving and reusing materials was normal? What happens to demolition materials? Can demolition ever be sustainable? Is sustainability all about operating energy? What about the embodied energy required to build a building? Why are some demolished buildings mourned while others are forgotten? Are we valuing what we should?

The symposium is a one-day event that will bring together many specialists, architects, engineers, and sustainable building consultants. Other panelists includes:

  • Lloyd Alter – Design Editor, treehugger.com
