AIA Denver COTE Presentation: Green Walls

Friday, March 5, 11:30am-1:00pm – UC Denver Building, Room 470, 1250 14th St, Denver

Keith Loftin, Associate Professor of Architecture, will present this session for the AIA Denver Committee on the Environment (COTE). The program will discuss the various definitions of sustainable architecture and how such buildings utilize highly technical solutions to solve architectural programs with the least expenditure of energy. The presentation will argue that the development of a truly sustainable architecture will require a dramatic change from the technological imagery of the modern project that includes the technical, the industrial and the scientific. Several well-known works of architecture will be briefly examined to make this point and an un-built project will be described that uses the imagery discussed.
