SUMMARY:Book Launch- Urban Alchemy: Restoring Joy in America's Fractured Cities
DESCRIPTION:Join author Mindy Fullilove and discussants Helena Hansen and Jack Saul in celebrating the publication of Urban Alchemy: Restoring Joy in America’s Fractured Cities.\n\nWhat if divided neighborhoods were causing public health problems? What if a new approach to planning and design could tackle both the built environment and collective well-being at the same time? What if cities could help each other? In Urban Alchemy\, Dr. Mindy Fullilove uses her unique perspective as a public health psychiatrist to explore ways of healing social and spatial fractures simultaneously. Using the work of French urbanist Michel Cantal-Dupart as a guide\, Fullilove takes readers on a tour of successful collaborative interventions that repair cities and reconnect communities to make them whole. \nDr. Mindy Thompson Fullilove is Professor of Clinical Sociomedical Sciences and Professor of Clinical Psychiatry\, College of Physicians and Surgeons at Columbia University. She is a board-certified psychiatrist who is interested in the links between the environment and mental health. She started her research career in 1986 with a focus on the AIDS epidemic\, and became aware of the close link between AIDS and place of residence. Under the rubric of the psychology of place\, Dr. Fullilove began to examine the mental health effects of such environmental processes as violence\, rebuilding\, segregation\, urban renewal\, and mismanaged toxins. She has published numerous articles and four books including “Root Shock: How Tearing Up City Neighborhoods Hurts America and What We Can Do About It\,” and “House of Joshua: Meditations on Family and Place.” \nHelena Hansen is Professor of Anthropology and Psychiatry\, New York University and Jack Saul is Professor of Clinical Population and Family Health\, Mailman School of Public Health\, Columbia University and Director\, International Trauma Studies Program. \nThis event is sponsored by the Psyences Project\, Metropolitan Studies\, and the Institute for Public Knowledge.

SUMMARY:Solar One Celebrates Holi\, the Hindu Festival of Colors
DESCRIPTION:Come to Solar One to celebrate Holi\, the Hindu Festival of Colors\, on Friday March 29 from 4:30 to 7:30pm. This event is FREE and open to the public. Children and families are most welcome! \nFor those who may be unfamiliar with Holi\, it is the festival that marks the beginning of spring for thousands of the world’s Hindus. The main activity of the festival involves dressing up in white clothing and throwing colored powders at each other. Because the changes of weather in springtime are often believed to cause colds and fevers\, traditional Holi powders were made with medicinal herbs to ward off illness. For Solar One’s Holi festival\, we will be throwing colored powders\, but they will be made with food coloring and rice flour so as to be as benign as possible. \nHoli originated in ancient Bengal as part of the veneration and worship of Lord Vishnu\, the preserver diety of Hindu mythology. Holi is also closely associated with Vishnu’s avatar Krishna\, who played holi games with the cow-herding girls (gopis) who were his companions during his childhood. \n \nGot some more questions? Check out our Holi FAQs here! \nWant to help us make our non-toxic\, gluten-free Holi powder? Join us at 5:00pm on Monday March 25 at the Solar 1 building (map and directions can be found here). \nWe hope you’ll join us on Friday March 29\, the first full moon of spring!

With over 20 speakers\, it is sure to be a fantastic day of exploration and inspiration! \n  \nRegistration required. Space is limited. \n  \nPASSIVE HOUSE: NYC’S NEWEST GROWTH INDUSTRY \nAn in-depth presentation about Passive House\, the energy conservation strategy developed in Germany\, rooted in North American energy efforts of the 1970’s\, now a growing global movement. Discussion will include Passive House basics\, materials and construction concepts integral to Passive House\, the energetic New York Passive House community and relevant policy development\, case studies\, the global perspective\, and emergent opportunities to participate in the field. \n  \nPanelists: \nFloris Keverling Buisman \nFloris Keverling Buisman\, CEO\, Technical Director\, CPHC\, LEED AP Floris attended Delft University of Technology\, School of Architecture\, The Netherlands. He worked on Mayor Bloomberg’s PlaNYC Green Code Task Force\, and was an Urban Green chapter board representative-at-large for North East Corridor Regional Council and certified WUFI instructor. Floris is a Certified Passive House Consultant and a founding board member of New York Passive House. Floris is a adjunct professor at City College of New York\, has been a guest critic at Pratt Institute and Columbia University\, and is co-founder of 475 High Performance Building Supply. \n  \nBuck Moorhead \nBuck Moorhead is the principal of Buck Moorhead Architect\, a Manhattan-based architectural firm founded in 1984. Focused on sustainable design\, the firm has designed new construction\, as well as completed large-scale re-use and renovations of residential\, commercial\, and institutional buildings throughout the metropolitan region. Buck is a founding partner of Building Consensus for Sustainability (BCS)\, a land use mediation and consensus building firm.

ZHe [ZH energy + enclosure]\, approaches design with an early integration of sustainable energy saving features within its work. Mr. Zakrzewski earned both his undergraduate and graduate degrees in architecture (University College in Dublin and Columbia University respectively). His professional experience has led him to work as an architect in Ireland\, Japan and the US.  Mr. Zakrzewski has been licensed in the state of New York since 2000\, is a LEED Accredited Professional and became a passive house consultant in 2011. \n  \nFROM GUITARS TO EAMES FURNITURE: WAYS IN WHICH SECONDARY ALUMINUM HAS BEEN UPCYCLED INTO GOODS OVER THE PAST CENTURY \nThe term upcycling\, popularized in design since the late 1990s\, reflects the creation of new goods from salvaged ones in a way that increases the value of the material.  The actual practice of upcycling has a longer history; this talk examines the use and reuse of aluminum with particular attention to ways in which secondary aluminum has been upcycled over the past century. \n  \nCarl A. Zimring \nCarl A. Zimring is Associate Professor of Sustainability Studies at the Pratt Institute.  He is the author of Cash for Your Trash: Scrap Recycling in America (Rutgers University Press\, 2005) and general editor of the Encyclopedia of Consumption and Waste: The Social Science of Garbage (SAGE\, 2012). \n  \nPERFORMATIVE AND RESILIENT LANDSCAPES: PRESERVING NYC’S INFRASTRUCTURE WITH NATURAL INTERVENTIONS – Presented by LEAP (Leaders in Environmental Advocacy at Pratt) \nWith the more frequent occurrence of stronger weather events as a result of climate change\, urban waterfronts have come under attack in the last couple of decades. In New York City\, Hurricane Sandy demonstrated the power of water\, and highlighted the fragility of our infrastructure. While proposals for strengthening our shores have concentrated on a mix of concrete seawalls and levees\, local landscape architects\, horticulturalists\, and other scientists and designers have advocated for a more natural approach. These experts have long collaborated to construct wetlands\, green roofs\, urban farms\, and other natural infrastructure. Can such designs and measures provide tools to create a more resilient landscape for our city? \nThis panel discusses the role of these resilient and performative landscapes in the preservation and success of New York City post-Sandy\, and how policy makers can facilitate the transition towards ecologically-minded infrastructures. \n  \nPanelists: \nPaul Mankiewicz – Horiculturalist/Landscape Expert  \nDr. Paul S. Mankiewicz\, Executive Director of the Gaia Institute\, received his Ph.D. from the City University of New York/New York Botanical Garden Joint Program in Plant Sciences. He holds patents on a modular\, in-vessel composting system\, an ultralightweight green roof plant growth medium\, and a biogeochemical reactor to breakdown dioxins and PCBs. Past president of the Torrey Botanical Society & board member of the NYC Soil & Water Conservation District and former chair of the Bronx Solid Waste Advisory Board. He has designed and built natural landscapes to remove metals\, hydrocarbons and excess nutrients from runoff and wastewater\, capture carbon\, and to slower air conditioning and heating costs.   Dr. Mankiewicz has constructed the first green roof in the Bronx\, the first industrial-scale stormwater treatment meadow and green wall at Sims Recycling- a six acre truck-to-barge material handling facility on the Bronx River\, the first process water/greywater treatment green roof on the Linda Tool Corporation in Red Hook\, Brooklyn\, the first ten of the Mayors PlaNYC 2030 enhanced tree pits for street-side storm water capture\, as well as the first community garden constructed for lead mitigation as well as storm water capture – El Jardin del Paraiso on  E 4th St. on the Lower East Side. \n  \nCarter Craft – Policy Advisor /Director of Long Range Planning and Development / Urban Assembly New York Harbor School \nCarter Craft is one of the region’s leading waterfront planners with a long history of linking disparate constituencies and organizing innovative waterfront projects.  For the past 12 years Carter has been leading teams to design and implement planning\, education\, and infrastructure projects through multi-partner collaborations. \nFrom 2000-2008\, Carter built a number of data sets that together created the most comprehensive baseline of waterfront information in the NY-NJ metro area.  As part of his work at the Metropolitan Waterfront Alliance\, he created the first regionwide GIS dataset of ferry routes and landings\, which they turned over to the NYC Departments of Transportation and City Planning.  They also created the “H2O Access” database that identified almost 450 locations on the water that deliver access/use in some form.  This dataset is now being used by\, among others\, the US Army Corps of Engineers in developing their Comprehensive Restoration Plan for the New York-New Jersey Harbor complex. \nThe “Community Dock” project uses recycled materials to create new floating structures.  Since the year 2000 the project has removed more than 1\,000\,000 plastic jugs from New York City’s waste stream\, repurposed thousands of board feet of lumber\, and reused hundreds of tons of steel pipe.  The project was integrated with industry from the outset: the whole design and development process was coordinated with the American National Standards Institute’s (ANSI) effort to create specifications for recycled plastic lumber in the marine environment.  Initially\, the project was funded by the NY State Department of Environmental Conservation and Operation Sail but more recently the funds have come from private sources.  In 2009\, the effort demonstrated how infrastructure can create multiple benefits:  the Eco-dock he and his team built for the NY Harbor School doubles as a floating oyster nursery. \nIn 2002\, he devised the Designing the Edge initiative to help develop bulkhead treatments that could help provide structural capacity and environmental benefits in the form of new habitat and wave attenuation. This approach\, developed in partnership with the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation\, truly has set a new standard for how aquatic edges in New York City can and should function.  This project has now been replicated in nearly a dozen areas around New York City\, including most recently the “Living Edge” project on Randall’s Island where Carter was responsible for Stakeholder Outreach as well as design and execution of the May 2012 Public Design Workshop. \nAs Co-Founder of the Metropolitan Waterfront Alliance (1998-2008) Carter has one of the most extensive sets of waterfront networks as well as one of the broadest and deepest institutional memories on and around the City and Region’s waterfront.  Whether it was through organizing the first five NY-NJ Waterfront Conferences which each convened on average 500 community leaders and elected officials\, or the organizing and production of more than 300 different events ranging from intimate walking tours to public exhibitions to the production of the Alliances’ first “City of Water Day\,” he has covered virtually every aspect of the water in his work over the last 18 years since first taking a tour of Governors Island as a volunteer with the environmental group Sierra Club. \nCarter’s work with MWA helped grow and establish relationships with public\, private\, and NGO stakeholders all connected to the water in some way.  More recently his work with Outside New York consulting continues to allow him to cultivate relationships across these groups\, as well as branch out more expansively into fields including energy\, education\, and development. \n  \nWalter Meyer – Landscape/Architectural Designer \nWalter Meyer is an urban designer with the firm Local Office Landscape Architecture (LOLA) which he founded in 2006 with Harvard classmate Jennifer Bolstad. Operating between infrastructure\, urbanism and territory\, the firm has won awards from across the disciplines of architecture\, landscape architecture\, public policy\, science and art. The partners have been engaged as speakers and visiting critics at Harvard GSD\, Columbia University\, Penn\, MIT\, and Parsons New School. \nThe firm’s recent built work includes the Parque del Litoral\, in Mayaguez\, Puerto Rico. The 2-mile-long urban beach park is the largest in the country. The park restructured the post-industrial shore into a dune forest that protects the city from sea surges\, while phytoremediation wetlands protect the sea from the city’s polluted sewers. The design was endorsed by the Caribbean Tsunami Institute for coastal resiliency\, and the project won an honor award from the AIA Puerto Rico\, as well as a Cimex award for sustainable infrastructure. In 2009\, the firm’s partners were recognized for their ‘leadership and innovation in the green economy’ by the Congressional Hispanic Caucus in Washington DC. \nAfter Hurricane Sandy the firm partners started ‘Power Rockaways Resilience\,’ a non-profit dedicated to fundraising and delivery of solar generators to volunteer centers throughout the coastal Rockaway peninsula in Queens\, NY. Currently\, Local Office is advising the National Parks Service\, the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation\, and the Army Corps of Engineers on coastal resiliency in the New York Bight. \n  \nHOW TO OVERCOME POLICY AND PERMITTING CHALLENGES IN SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT – Presented by LEAP \n  \nECO-DESIGN AND LIFE-CYCLE ANALYSIS: STRATEGIES\, TOOLS AND CASE STUDIES \n  \nCarolyn Schaeberle \nCarolyn Schaeberle is the Assistant Director of the Center for Sustainable Design Studies. Growing up in New Hampshire\, Carolyn dreamed of becoming a ballerina. Twenty years later\, she hung up her pointe shoes and picked up a power drill. After receiving her Engineering degree from Smith College she went on to work for DEKA\, developer of the Segway\, where she worked on a high tech water purification system. While working at DEKA\, she realized that she was more fascinated with how people interacted with the technologies being developed rather than the technologies themselves. \nCarolyn received her Masters of Industrial Design from Pratt Institute. Her thesis\, entitled “Beyond the Tap”\, explored how improved water is managed in the developing world. She has taught in the Industrial Design department at Pratt. Since 2009\, she has worked to develop the CSDS Resource Center on Pratt’s Brooklyn campus\, acted as project manager for a number of CSDS Industry and Research projects\, coordinates the annual Sustainability Crash Course and runs the CSDS internship Program. \n  \nBALANCING BUSINESS WITH INVESTMENT IN SUSTAINABILITY \nHow Radegast Hall and similar eating and drinking establishments benefit from sustainable architecture. \n  \nBrent Porter \n  \nREDUCING NYC’S CARBON FOOTPRINT \nThe consensus amongst climate scientists is that major calamities await the world unless mankind drastically reduces its carbon emissions in the coming decades. Using computer modeling\, citywide data sets\, and insights from experts in the building and transportation communities\, we have shown how New York City can lead the way towards climate change mitigation by reducing its carbon footprint by 90% by 2050. Since buildings produce 75% of NYC’s greenhouse gas emissions\, our study focused on the built environment\, but also included assessment of other components of the city’s emissions. We found that by utilizing currently available and immediately foreseeable technologies\, we can rid New York City’s buildings of carbon pollution. Our cost analysis of these measures in buildings shows them to be essentially cost-neutral over time. Assessing additional sources of emissions\, we have also shown that plausible reductions in the transportation and waste treatment sectors can take us the rest of the way to 90% overall reduction. \n  \nDaniel Wright \nProfessor Daniel Wright teaches and develops courses in chemistry and physics at Pratt Institute. His current research interests include topics relating to the science of sustainability including life cycle analysis\, building modeling/simulation\, and sustainability metrics. His past academic research activities were focused on the study of organic materials for applications in optics. He has also worked in industry on the equipment and processes involved in the photolithographic patterning of microelectronics. \n  \nWHAT IS “GREEN JEWELRY”?\n\nWhen it comes to materials sourcing for jewelry\, there are many shades of ‘green.’ We will begin with an overview of the ethical and environmental issues involved in sourcing precious metals and gemstones\, and seek responsible alternatives. Then\, we will explore the work of jewelry artists from around the world who use responsibly sourced precious materials as well as those who reuse\, recycle and repurpose everyday objects to make innovative\, colorful\, and sustainable jewelry.\n \nChristine Dhein\nChristine Dhein is a jewelry designer\, author\, and educator. She is the assistant director and an instructor at the Revere Academy of Jewelry Arts\, where she developed the curriculum for the first ‘green’ jewelry class\, a subject about which she has taught and lectured internationally. She is the author of numerous articles about environmentally friendly studio practices for jewelers\, as well as founder and editor of Green Jewelry News\, an electronic newsletter designed to keep jewelers up to date about eco-minded practices\, materials\, news and events. Christine’s jewelry has been exhibited throughout the USA\, as well as in Europe and Australia\, and can been seen in numerous books and magazines.

After an explosion of interest in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries\, Brooklynites forgot about bikes until later in the twentieth century and now\, in the twenty-first century\, bikes are ubiquitous in Brooklyn\, especially in its rapidly changing waterfront neighborhoods. There are bike lanes and bike paths; bikes are seen as an answer to transportation problems and as a solution for environmental troubles. In a half-day conference sponsored by the Brooklyn Waterfront Research Center (BWRC) and the University Transportation Research Center (UTRC) speakers will examine the issues raised by the history and ubiquity of bikes in Brooklyn. \nThe speakers will include: \n\nDavid Herlihy\, author of Bicycle: The History\nHayes Lord\, director of the Bicycle Program\, and Ted Wright\, Bicycle and Pedestrian Projects\, NYC Department of Transportation\nSteve Durrant\, principal\, Alta Bicycle Share operator of Citi Bikes\nCharles McCorkell\, owner Bicycle Habitat\nBrian McCormick and Milton Puryear\, co-founders of the Brooklyn Greenway Initiative\nBen Shepard\, City Tech professor\, community organizer\, and author of The Beach Beneath the Streets: Contesting New York City’s Public Spaces\nMike Lydon\, principal\, The Street Plan Collaborative\nChris Wogas\, president\, Bike and Roll\nDavid Trimble\, director\, Red Hook Criterium\n\nThe conference will include a screening of “Racing Towards Red Hook” with director Jessica Scott. \nContinental breakfast will be provided! \nAn optional afternoon (2pm) bike tour along the Brooklyn Waterfront Greenway will start from Fulton Ferry Landing \nhttp://bwrc.commons.gc.cuny.edu/2013/03/05/bikes-on-the-brooklyn-waterfront-conference-registration-is-open/

SUMMARY:Public Design Workshop for the BK Waterfront Greenway
DESCRIPTION:Your Voice Is Needed! \nNYC Department of Transportation (DOT) will hold a Public Design Workshop for the Brooklyn Waterfront Greenway on Wednesday\, March 20\, 2013. \nDOT will be hosting its third public input session for the DUMBO and Vinegar Hill reconstruction project to accommodate the Brooklyn Waterfront Greenway. At previous public input sessions\, neighborhood residents brought up concerns about reconstruction of Belgian block roadways to accommodate bicyclists. At this meeting\, DOT will present revised concepts for further public input on cobble reconstruction and the design of the Pearl Street Triangle Plaza. \nBrooklyn Greenway Initiative’s view is that the City should not reconstruct any streets without making them accessible to bikes. Cobblestone streets were laid during the carriage age. They can be reconstructed in ways that honor their history\, while still serving all of the tax payers today who are paying for them. \nWhat is your view? Please attend this important meeting and express it. \nWhen: Wednesday\, March 20\, 2013   6:00 pm – 7:00 pm \nWhere: NYU-Poly Incubator\,   20 Jay Street\, Suite 312\, Brooklyn
