Historic Green's organizing "steering" krewe have a unique opportunity to regularly meet and talk with some of America's leading minds on the subjects of traditional preservation philosophy, sustainable building techniques/strategies, and social equity and outreach.
As a young architect, exposure to Rudy Christian and Bob Berkebile is exciting in itself, but to have them both strategizing on an effort I am personally undertaking, and offering valuable insights based on their experiences here, is an unparallelled experience for me. After hearing Majora Carter provide a keynote address at Greenbuild, it was clear to us that she had experience with another piece of the Lower 9 puzzle, community building and social outreach... Not to mention a great mind for marketing.
Majora arives today at 9am, and leaves for her next project after 6 tonight, so needless to say we've got her on a very tight schedule, but plan to maximize her exposure to the emerging L9 community leaders throughout the day.
