SUMMARY:Emerging Voices: Gabriela Etchegaray and Jorge Ambrosi; Neri Oxman
DESCRIPTION:Emerging Voices\nGabriela Etchegaray and Jorge Ambrosi\, AMBROSI | ETCHEGARAY\, Mexico City\nNeri Oxman\, Mediated Matter Group\, MIT Media Lab\, Cambridge\nIntroduced by Billie Tsien \nThe final evening of the annual Emerging Voices lecture series features Gabriela Etchegaray and Jorge Ambrosi of AMBROSI | ETCHEGARAY and Neri Oxman of Mediated Matter Group\, MIT Media Lab. Emerging Voices spotlights individuals and firms based in the United States\, Canada\, or Mexico with distinct design voices and the potential to influence the disciplines of architecture\, landscape architecture\, and urbanism. \nJorge Ambrosi and Gabriela Etchegaray founded Mexico City-based AMBROSI | ETCHEGARAY in 2011. The firm considers “architecture in harmony with nature\, where earth\, gravity and light must be present.” Current projects include Papalote Museo del Niño\, an outdoor “museography-landscape\,” as well as a collaboration with GMexico Mine Company to build cultural plazas and sports infrastructure in local communities. For more on AMBROSI | ETCHEGARAY\, click here. \nNeri Oxman founded Mediated Matter Group at the MIT Media Lab in 2010. Concerned with how “digital design and fabrication technologies mediate between matter and environment to radically transform the design and construction of objects\, buildings\, and systems\,” Mediated Matter Group’s research merges “computational form-finding strategies with biologically inspired fabrication.” For more on Mediated Matter Group\, click here. \nBillie Tsien is the partner and founder of Tod Williams Billie Tsein Architects. She is the president of The Architectural League and served on this year’s Emerging Voices committee. \nBUY $10 TICKETS BY CLICKING HERE!

SUMMARY:Great New York City Buildings Few Guide Books Will Ever Mention
DESCRIPTION:So you live in New York. Or maybe you’re just passing through. Guide books direct your attention to The Empire State Building\, The Chrysler Building\, Grand Central Station. Great buildings\, all of them. No doubt. World class historically important architectural masterpieces that people from all over the world come to see and experience for themselves. \nBut wouldn’t it be cool if\, for example\, while you’re waiting on line for pizza at Grimaldi’s in Dumbo with your out-of -town friend\, you glance across the street and point out the incredible building facing you. You point out its monumental arch\, unique brass lettering and incredibly thick masonry walls. You’re able to explain how it was originally used as a storage facility for the rich. That it was designed by probably the greatest Brooklyn architect of his time\, but who few people actually have ever heard of. Wouldn’t that be cool? \nThis class will look at a bunch of these types of buildings. Buildings that you might pass without noticing\, but which have their own rich history and significance in the New York City architectural vernacular. Buildings that make New York\, well….New York. We’ll discuss the when and the why. The who and the “so what”. We’ll discuss their place in New York architectural history as well as their place in American Architectural history in general. \nSo the next time your parents come to visit for the um-teenth time\, instead of waiting in line for a tour of the New York Public Library\, you’ll be able to drag them deep into Brooklyn\, or Chelsea\, or the Bronx to show them some real New York architecture that few guides or guide books would ever mention. \n\nTaught by Stephen Dargo \nStephen Dargo is a practicing architect with a Masters of Architecture degree from Columbia University.  Though he works full time at an established architecture firm in Manhattan\, he also finds time to enjoy happy hour\, root for the Red Sox/Patriots and pretend that he is Ted Mosby from “How I Met Your Mother.” \nPlease register here: http://brooklynbrainery.com/courses/great-new-york-city-buildings-few-guide-books-will-ever-mention

SUMMARY:Composting With Worms: Indoor Vermicomposting Demystified at the Brooklyn Brainery
DESCRIPTION:photo credit: lessismorebalanced \nComposting can seem too hard for the average citizen\, but in this class\, you’ll learn how easy it can be. We’ll talk through the basics of indoor vermicomposting (composting with worms) and how you can do your part to reduce your food waste. Each participant will construct a bin\, fill it with bedding\, add some red wiggler worms\, and watch them go to work! \nWe’ll cover: \nSoil science – What is composting\, actually? What’s a macro-organism? What things are nitrogen-rich and carbon-rich? \nBenefits of composting – How exactly are my food scraps saving the planet? What if I’m nervous about rats/roaches/odor? \nBin construction – What kind of worms do I need? Do I use plastic or wood? What about drainage? \nBin Maintenance – What materials can I add and not add\, and in what ratio? How much can I add and how often? \nHarvesting – Can I grow flowers in it? Can I give it away? Should I rub it on my face because it looks so good? \nTroubleshooting – So many mites! Funky smell! Worms trying to escape! \nAnd finally\, you can ask all the questions you want about worm composting. Allay your fears\, convince your friends\, and walk away with superior knowledge about managed decomposition–as well as a fully constructed worm bin to put under your sink! \nWe’ll provide the bins and worms\, but please bring some food scraps (just basic vegetable scraps\, no fruits\, grains\, dairy\, etc. for now) and bedding (old newspaper\, paper\, cardboard (toilet paper and paper towel rolls) with you to class. The finished bin will measure 23.6 x 16.4 x 6.5 inches.\n \n\nTaught by Jonathan Riedel \nJonathan Riedel hails from Fort Myers\, FL and has long had an acute interest in how worms turn organic matter into dirt. He currently has a worm bin (collectively named “Wally”) under his kitchen sink\, and recently became a certified Community Composter by the Lower East Side Ecology Center. In the vacant lot next to his Harlem apartment\, Jonathan is working with city officials to start a community garden. When he is not composting (or teaching about it)\, Jonathan can either be found working at a non-profit in Brooklyn as a legal advocate for New Yorkers affected by illness or managing his language translations company. \nPlease register here: http://brooklynbrainery.com/courses/composting-with-worms-indoor-vermicomposting-demystified

SUMMARY:Fueling Our Future: Blackout: Security and the Electric Grid
DESCRIPTION:Photo credit: APT \nWith seven billion people in the world (nine billion projected by 2050)\, many of whom live in rapidly developing countries\, the need for modern technologies with their attendant energy demands is increasing at an exponential rate. Will it be possible to provide sufficient energy for this generation and the next? How will the energy race change global economies and politics?\n \nWhether by power surges\, storm surges\, or even criminal or terrorist sabotage\, the electric grid faces many threats. It is a critical part of our infrastructure\, and a large scale outage could be crippling with profound ramifications. Both government and the private sector are looking for ways to both avoid disruption and mitigate any damage should there be a widespread shutdown. Policy makers are proposing new industry standards\, and innovations such as microgrids offer alternatives for critical services. \nJoin John Bradley\, Associate VP\, Sustainability\, Energy and Technical Services\, New York University for a conversation on the emerging solutions and threats facing the electricity distribution sector. \nSeating is available on a first come first serve basis until we reach capacity. Preregistration does not guarantee entry.\n \nPlease register here: http://www.eventbrite.com/e/fueling-our-future-blackout-security-and-the-electric-grid-tickets-15474388312?aff=es2&rank=35 \n  \n

SUMMARY:Our Land: Local Action\, Global Impact
DESCRIPTION:FIT’s Ninth Annual FIT Sustainable Business and Design Conference\nThis conference is free and open to the public. \nSchedule: \nMorning \nBreakfast \nSustainability Council Opening Remarks \nAndrew Faust\nOne of the premier Permaculture teachers and designers in North America with over two decades of experience in the field\, Andrew Faust is creating homes and communities rooted in a sense of the sacred in the eastern Appalachian bioregions. He is turning on hundreds of New Yorkers to the beauty of applying Permaculture design to a wide range of landscapes and projects.\nDemonstrating in classes how to practice permaculture in the midst of the largest city in America\, he integrates all of his lifelong wisdom of reading the northeastern corridor through Permaculture perspectives for clients and students. Now twenty years into his consultation services and projects\, he is immersed in this landscape and can read it\, sense it and design/build in tune with natural lay of the land as only someone who has homesteaded off the grid for eight years\, as an intentional pursuit in a deeper wisdom of his understanding of Permaculture and all its facets\, can. \n“I am here on this Earth to help my fellow human beings to achieve a higher quality of life in sustainable\, beautiful and resilient ways.” \nTitle of presentation:\n“Permaculture and Bioregionalism: Ecological Models for Economic Development” \nDr. Joyce F. Brown\, FIT President\, Welcoming Remarks \nPresident’s Panel – Update on Sustainable initiatives at FIT \nLunch Break \nAfternoon \nJon Bowermaster \nA six-time grantee of the National Geographic Expeditions Council and writer and  filmmaker Jon’s ten-year-long OCEANS 8 project took him and his teams around the  world by sea kayak the past ten years\, on expeditions ranging from the Aleutian Islands\, Vietnam\, French Polynesia to Chile/Argentina/Bolivia\, Gabon to Croatia and Tasmania to  Antarctica. Seeing the world from the seat of a sea kayak has given him a one-of-a-kind look at both the health of the planet’s oceans and the lives of the nearly four billion people around the globe who depend on them. His film series documenting the OCEANS 8 project has shown in 150 countries. \nAuthor of twelve books\, Jon’s most recent are “Descending the Dragon” about his travels in Vietnam and “Wildbeest in a Rainstorm\,” a collection of profiles of our most intriguing conservationists and explorers. Jon’s most recent documentaries include “Terra Antarctica\, “What Would Darwin Think? Man v. Nature in the Galapagos” and “SoLa\, Louisiana Water Stories.” \nHis most recent films — “Dear Governor Cuomo” and “Sink or Swim\, Learning the Crawl in the     Maldives” — look at the controversy surrounding fracking in New York and why so many coastal residents never learn to swim\, though they live just a couple feet above sea level. Jon’s newest film is the first 3D film to be shot in Antarctica. “On the Edge\, Antarctica 3D” began distribution around the globe in Fall 2014. \nJennifer Grossman \nWith more than 20 years of strategic environmental legal work in both the public and not-for-profit sectors\, Jennifer is a conservation consultant in her own firm. Now working with the Natural Resources Defense Council on a Regional Foodshed Initiative\, she is forging collaborative platforms between rural and urban communities to establish sustainable economic growth via local agriculture.  She is the founder/president of FarmCo New York\, a Catskill-based company creating economically-viable and environmentally-conscious family farm business ventures.  FarmCo’s initial venture\, Mauer’s Mountain Farms\, is the first and only New York State farm raising heritage French Jumbo Guinea Hen\, is now followed by Catskill Mountain Dairies\, a unique producer of kosher organic farmstead yogurt.  She is also a founding partner of Longdrift\, an ecotourism company providing unique angling adventures in Argentina. \nJoseph Trumpey \nAssociate Professor of Art and Natural Resources at the University of Michigan. Trumpey earned his A.B in Art and Biology from Wabash College and his M.F.A. in Medical and Biological Illustration from the University of Michigan.  He was chief medical illustrator for the College of Veterinary Medicine\, North Carolina State University. He founded and directs Michigan Science Art\, one of North America’s largest groups of science illustrators. Their notable achievement is the 5\,000 illustrations for the award-winning Grzimek’s Animal Life Encyclopedia. Trumpey has worked with numerous zoos\, museums and publishers. As former Director of International Engagement\, Art & Design\, he is instituting a school-wide international requirement. \nTrumpey’s teaching focuses on sustainability\, culture\, experiential observation\, and creative processes connecting Nature to Society. He is a recipient of the University of Michigan’s Undergraduate Teaching Award and has been a TedX speaker. \nWith an emphasis on biodiversity\, modern agriculture and ecological sustainability\, Trumpey’s creative work has been exhibited in a wide variety of venues. His devotion to these issues is evident in the fact that he\, his wife and two daughters live and work on a small farm dedicated to their own food production and the preservation of genetic diversity in heritage livestock. He designed and built their solar powered\, off-grid\, strawbale home. \n\nHave questions about Our Land: Local Action\, Global Impact?

SUMMARY:Digging Up Trouble: A Panel on Social Conflict\, Sustainable Development and Extractive Resources
DESCRIPTION:Extractive industries\, when unregulated\, have been criticized for plundering natural resources without enabling economic mobility. In extreme cases\, like in the mines of the Democratic Republic of Congo\, human rights abuse and slave labor make working class enablement a far-off reality. On the other hand\, efforts from the international community to pressure these industries\, such as the Dodd-Frank Act\, have been denounced for misidentifying key mechanisms and worsening the economic and ecological situation for the local communities. \nHow do we envision the industry contributing to local empowerment\, given that political and ethnic conflict surrounds much of its production? What kind of foreign and domestic policies would be most effective in combating slave labor and ensuring environmentally-responsible extraction? What are the dangers of centering an country’s economy around extraction even if done ethically? How does a country move beyond it? These are the questions that we wish to explore with our speakers and with the undergraduate community during Earth Week 2015. \nPANELISTS: David Kienzler\, Fellow at Columbia Center on Sustainable Investment. Jenik Radon\, Adjunct Professor of International and Public Affairs at SIPA. Andrew Bauer\, Senior Economic Analyst at the Natural Resource Governance Institute.

SUMMARY:Comfort Zone Screening
DESCRIPTION:Comfort Zone will be shown Tuesday April 14\, 2015 at 7:00 PM – Hunter College\, New York\, NY. Room HW714 (West Bldg. 7th Floor). Enter at 68th & Lexington\, southwest corner. Conversation with filmmaker will follow screening!\n \nWatch the trailer here: http://comfortzoneproject.com/ \nFrom the website: \nIs climate change a scientific problem? An engineering problem? A psychological problem? All that\, and more? \nCOMFORT ZONE takes an in-depth look at what happens when global climate issues come to our backyards. The specific setting is Upstate New York\, but the effects\, both subtle and profound\, illustrate the kinds of effects that can happen anywhere. \nThree residents of upstate New York—Kate\, Dave and Sean—tackle this question each in a different way\, and for different reasons. Kate worries that her children will grow up in a different world—one more challenging than the world she grew up in. Dave sees the climate problem as an internal crisis that each person must approach from the inside out. Sean gets to the root of the science behind the greenhouse effect\, and looks at possible solutions. \nCOMFORT ZONE is an engaging\, consciousness-changing\, and often funny film that presents a global issue from a personal perspective\, challenging us to confront our own connection to climate change. \nFind out more: http://comfortzoneproject.com/?p=65
