SUMMARY:Visit Swale at Brooklyn Army Terminal Pier 4
DESCRIPTION:Swale is a floating food forest built atop a barge that travels to piers in New York City\, offering educational programming and welcoming visitors to harvest herbs\, fruits and vegetables for free. Swale strives to strengthen stewardship of public waterways and land\, while working to shift policies that will increase the presence of edible perennial landscapes. \nSwale was founded in 2016 by artist Mary Mattingly\, through a grant from A Blade of Grass. \nIn the summer of 2016\, Swale launched at Concrete Plant Park in the South Bronx\, one of the largest food deserts in the United States. Food deserts are a reality in many communities in New York City; as many as three million New Yorkers live in communities with limited access to places where they can get fresh produce. Swale began as an idea to advocate for food to be grown on some of the 30\,000 acres of public land in New York City\, through urban stewardship initiatives led by community partners in the South Bronx. \nSwale currently works with Youth Ministries for Peace and Justice to run free public programming\, while also providing professional development opportunities for young folks in the South Bronx. In the summer of 2017\, Swale will continue to collaborate with Bronx River Alliance\, The Point and the New York City Parks Department to expand access to public food in the South Bronx. \n**Free and open to the public on Saturdays and Sundays 12-6pm** \n**Swale will be moving to Governor’s Island beginning in September**

SUMMARY:The New Urban Crisis
DESCRIPTION:On Tuesday\, July 31st  Join Van Alen Institute as we delve into Richard Florida’s The New Urban Crisis.\n \nIn 2002\, Richard Florida published The Rise of the Creative Class\, urging city-makers to improve their neighborhoods by investing in amenities that would attract young “makers.”Creative Class quickly became a handbook for mayors\, developers\, and planners\, giving rise to walkability ratings\, cultural attractions\, and increased bike lanes. Yet over the same years\, rents and urban inequality have skyrocketed. Join us as we discuss Florida’s revision to his theory\, asking what went wrong\, and what we can learn to make cities better in the future. \nOpen to new and returning participants.\nFood and beverages will be provided \nRegister here: https://vanalen.secure.force.com/events/CnP_PaaS_EVT__ExternalRegistrationPage?event_id=a1Q2A0000084Le5UAE

SUMMARY:The Fourth Regional Plan Opening
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the opening of The Fourth Regional Plan. \nIn 2017\, the Regional Plan Association published the Fourth Regional Plan\, a long-range strategic plan for the New York Metropolitan Area. Like RPA’s three previous plans\, released in the 1920s\, 1960s\, and 1990s\, the fourth plan was created to help elected officials\, policymakers\, and advocates plan for the region’s future. \nThe plan includes a broad vision and specific recommendations to promote equity\, health\, prosperity\, and sustainability for the next generation. It was the product of five years of research and public engagement with a wide range of stakeholders participating in the planning effort—from community members and civic organizations to business groups and public officials. \nRegister for free HERE

SUMMARY:Dining Detritus: Zero Waste Restaurants
DESCRIPTION:This is a related program for the exhibition Designing Waste: Strategies for a Zero Waste City. \nCan design help restaurants and food service facilities go zero waste? In the third and final program related to the Designing Waste exhibition\, currently on view in the Center for Architecture galleries\, a chef\, a proprietor\, and a sustainability expert present and discuss the design interventions that have helped them reduce food waste\, improve recycling\, and move towards a circular economy.  \nIntroduction:\nChristina Grace\, CEO and Founder\, Foodprint Group; Co-author of the Zero Waste Design Guidelines \nSpeakers:\nCamilla Marcus\, Founder\, west~bourne\nElizabeth Meltz\, Director of Health\, Safety\, and Environment\, Eataly\nKelly Jacques\, Operations Manager\, Breads Bakery \nModerator:\nAndrew Blum\, Curator\, Designing Waste \nDesigning Waste: Strategies for a Zero Waste City explores how we manage waste in our buildings and neighborhoods\, and how design can help reduce the amount of waste that goes to landfill. \nEvery day\, tens of thousands of trucks filled with food\, clothing\, and other goods arrive in New York City to be delivered\, unpacked\, and consumed. And every day\, approximately 24\,000 tons of discarded materials leave the city as waste. Waste management costs New York City over a billion dollars every year. To combat this problem\, the city announced a Zero Waste plan in 2014 to reduce the amount of discards sent to landfills by 90% by 2030. \nDesigning Waste examines the architecture of New York City’s gray spaces for trash—the overlooked areas where waste is managed in our buildings. This is when waste is closest to us\, when it’s sorted and stored in apartments\, trash rooms\, basement corridors\, loading bays\, and sidewalks. And this is where architects\, designers\, and building professionals have agency to transform the waste system. \nThe exhibition is based on the Zero Waste Design Guidelines\, an expansive document that examines architectural strategies for waste reduction. \n#DesigningWaste

DESCRIPTION:Dandelion\, burdock\, violet leaf and ground ivy: just a few of the plants we’ve all encountered growing in our school gardens in between the rows of neatly cultivated tomato\, carrot and brassicas. Unwelcome as they may seem\, these plants have been valued for centuries as medicines and sources of wild food. In this workshop educators will learn ways to help young people develop their plant identification skills\, and an appreciation of the healing plants—often discarded as mere weeds—that grow abundantly all over our city. \nThis workshop is in partnership with Green Thumb and Jess Turner of Olamina Botanicals

SUMMARY:Soft Infrastructures: New Ways of Water
DESCRIPTION:Columbia GSAPP Professor and award-winning author\, Anthony Acciavatti\, will present new ways of thinking about water filtration methods along the world’s most densely populated river basin – the Ganges river in India. By incorporating the rhythms of the monsoons and “hacking” current filtration systems\, Acciavatti can give insights into the future of urban waterways and why designers must take a holistic approach to dealing with wastewater management and pressing issues surrounding drinking water. \nThe presentation will reflect on his time living near the Ganges and how that experience sparked his own ideas\, designs and alternate solutions. \nThis event is part of an ongoing series of events\, lectures and workshops for The A/D/O #WaterFutures Research Program – a yearlong investment challenging designers to research\, concept and ideate scalable solutions to the global drinking water crisis.

SUMMARY:Zone Greener: Facilitating Solar Adoption
DESCRIPTION:In 2012\, the New York City adopted a package of amendments to the NYC Zoning Resolution\, collectively called Zone Green\, to facilitate more sustainable and energy-efficient design. Zone Green addressed barriers to building thicker\, better-insulated walls. It also covered the inclusion of sustainable design strategies\, such as solar panels\, solar shading systems\, green roofs\, and greenhouses. \nFast forward six years: although Zone Green successfully solved the problems anticipated at the time\, new technologies and new barriers have since emerged. Last fall\, the Urban Green Council convened a Task Force of over 40 stakeholders to develop a roadmap for Zone Greener\, a set of potential upgrades to the Zoning Resolution that would unlock further opportunities for the next generation of green building. These recommendation are detailed in a new Urban Green report\, Zone Greener. \nPart 2 of this event series will focus on modifications to the Zoning Resolution that would continue to advance solar energy in New York City. This event will discuss progress made in the uptake of solar installations since 2012\, as well as recommendations and solutions for newly identified issues involving rooftop solar\, ground-mounted solar\, and solar batteries. \nPart 1 of this two-part series focused on building better walls. You can read more about that event here. \nSpeakers:\nLaurie Kerr\, FAIA\, LEED AP\, Director of Policy\, Urban Green Council \nAdditional speakers TBA.

SUMMARY:Wild Walk in Central Park: With One Earth Conservation
DESCRIPTION:The Climate Reality NYC Metro Chapter invites you to join us as we learn together how biodiversity loss and climate change intersect through a guided walk in our own Central Park. \nUnder the guidance and direction of One Earth Conservation’s Nurture Nature Program we will be lead by Rev. Dr. LoraKim Joyner and Gail Koelln (Climate Reality Leader)\, Co-directors of One Earth. This is a nonsectarian event which will immerse you in the spiritual aspect of nature – a force much greater than ourselves. \nOur hope is to more deeply connect to nature so that we can live with more resilience\, joy\, and contribution to life around us. For a short time we cast off our culture’s attempt to domesticate us and return to our wild selves. We begin with a guided walk that contains practices to grow five natural intelligences – emotional\, social\, multispecies\, ecological\, and spiritual. The second half of the walk we will identify birds and trees\, and enjoy the morning’s light. \nDress comfortably for about 1.5 hours outside. Bring binoculars as we will also be birdwatching! \nIf you get lost or arrive late\, text/call to 914-325-9574. For any questions\, email info@oneearthconservation.org. \nCheck back here for any weather advisories and dress accordingly. There will be an alternate indoor activity if it is too rainy to be outdoors. Please RSVP so you will get instructions under those circumstances.

SUMMARY:Designing Waste: Strategies for a Zero Waste City
DESCRIPTION:Every day\, tens of thousands of trucks filled with food\, clothing\, and other goods arrive in New York City to be delivered\, unpacked\, and consumed. And every day\, approximately 24\,000 tons of discarded materials leave the city as waste. Waste management costs New York City over a billion dollars every year. To combat this problem\, in 2014\, the city announced a Zero Waste plan to reduce the amount of discards sent to landfills by 90% by 2030.\n \nDesigning Waste: Strategies for a Zero Waste City explores how we manage waste in our buildings and neighborhoods\, and how design can help reduce the amount of waste that goes to landfill. The exhibition examines the architecture of New York City’s gray spaces for trash—the overlooked areas where waste is managed in our buildings. This is when waste is closest to us\, when it’s sorted and stored in apartments\, trash rooms\, basement corridors\, loading bays\, and sidewalks. And this is where architects\, designers\, and building professionals have agency to transform the waste system. \nThe exhibition is based on the Zero Waste Design Guidelines\, an expansive document that examines architectural strategies for waste reduction.

SUMMARY:Sustainability ∩ Resilience Integration II: Metrics
DESCRIPTION:Metrics of Resilience and the RELi Rating System\nSustainability and resilience are two sides of the same coin. When combined with regeneration\, civility\, and health\, they create an emergent property that can be thought of as a ‘living system.’ In this presentation\, architect and eco-entrepreneur Doug Pierce of Perkins+Will simultaneously explores the theory and practice of resilience through a holistic lens grounded in biomimicry and the reductive perspective of checklists. He will offer clarity on how sustainability and resilience overlap\, and where they differ. \nThis transdisciplinary presentation will blend design\, science\, and engineering with actionable metrics from the RELi Resilience Action List and rating system that are readily available to design practitioners\, decision-makers\, and policy experts. RELi was launched in 2014 and was adopted by the USGBC at Greenbuild 2017. \nSpeaker:\nDoug Pierce\, AIA\, LEED Fellow\, Global Resilience Lab Co-Director and Senior Architect\, Perkins+Will \nFree for students; $10 for general public

SUMMARY:Funding the Future: Resilience Planning Across Public and Private Sectors
DESCRIPTION:In recent years\, resilience planning across all domains has become a crucial part of national\, state\, and local discourse. It is essential to engage policy makers and funders in early planning phases to better understand how policy can influence funding opportunities for these projects. Architects\, planners\, landscape designers\, policy makers\, financiers\, and funders can and should work together to improve this critical part of the resiliency design process. \nThis interdisciplinary program will focus on understanding cross-industry relationships and strategies to address the complexities of planning\, financing\, and insuring waterfront plans and projects. Participants will leave with a template for creating a project funding strategy\, along with a checklist of experts and professionals to involve. \nUsing Jamaica Bay as a case study for New York City’s 520 miles of coastline\, we will address the challenges of implementing forward-thinking resilient design strategies in the New York City region. \nIntroduction: Illya Azaroff\, AIA\, +LAB; Founding Co-Chair\, AIANY Design for Risk and Reconstruction Committee \nSpeakers:\nJoyce Coffee\, President\, Climate Resilience Consulting\nAlan Front\, CEO\, Conservation Pathways\nCortney Worrall\, Senior Regional Director\, Northeast Regional Office\, National Parks Conservation Association (NPCA) \nModerator: Janice Barnes\, PhD\, LEED AP BD+C\, Global Resilience Director/Principal\, Perkins + Will \nOrganized by: AIANY Design for Risk and Reconstruction Committee and the National Parks Conservation Association

SUMMARY:Lemon Creek Walking Tour
DESCRIPTION:Lemon Creek is one of the longest aboveground creeks in New York City\, and its route cuts deeply into the history of Staten Island. Once famous for its oysters and oystermen\, it was a favorite haunt of author Joseph Mitchell in the 1950s\, and is now a Staten Island Bluebelt\, harboring eagles\, peacocks\, and deer. Join writer and photographer Nathan Kensinger on a walk tracing out the lower portions of this fascinating waterway\, as it flows through historic neighborhoods and protected parklands\, and out to Prince’s Bay. \nSturdy\, closed-toed shoes are recommended for this walk\, which will involve following footpaths over streams and through wooded environments. We will start at Amboy Road and Penton Street and end the walk at Bayview Ave. and Johnston Terrace. \nThis walking tour is sponsored by Council Member Joseph Borelli. \nRain date: June 23rd.
