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.

SUMMARY:NYLON #13: Homelessness
DESCRIPTION:With over 160\,000 people in London without permanent accommodation and over 63\,000 in the New York City municipal shelter system\, how are these global cities tackling homelessness and providing innovative solutions to house those who need it most? \nThe structures that serve the homeless in both cities complicated and insufficient\, but new energy is driving change. Last year\, Mayor Bill de Blasio announced a campaign to build 90 homeless shelters across the city. And in London\, the Mayor Sadiq Khan has launched a £50m innovation fund to stimulate new and innovative approaches to tackling rough sleeping in the capital. \nThis NYLON Dialogue\, thirteenth in the series\, brings together city experts\, non-profits\, and designers who are looking at how we might learn from one another and address this growing issue. What role does design play in driving change? \nThe live video seminar\, taking place simultaneously in both cities\, will begin in promptly at 8:30 AM in New York\, with breakfast from 8:00 AM. \nNew York Speakers:\nJoslyn Carter\,Administrator of the Department of Homeless Services\nJonathan Marvel\, FAIA\, Founding Principal\, Marvel Architects\nJonathan Rose\, President\, Jonathan Rose Companies \nLondon Speakers:\nPam Orchard\, Chief Executive Officer\, The Connection\nAlice Brownfield\, Associate Director\, Peter Barber Architects\nJennifer Travassos\, Head of Prevention and Commissioning\, Westminster Council\, Member of Mayor’s No Nights Sleeping Rough Taskforce \nNYLON in association with: New London Architecture and Urban Design Forum\nProgramme Champions: Bates Smart\, Diamond Schmitt Architects and KPF

SUMMARY:May Forum: Resilient Solar
DESCRIPTION:As the solar energy industry continues its breakneck growth\, more questions arise around how we can use this intermittent source of energy and still have reliably consistent power. This issue becomes even more critical in an era of more frequent and catastrophic climate events that can and have taken down the electrical grid.\n \nIn 2018\, we are seeing the rise of Resilient Solar: the pairing of solar energy systems with complementary technologies to provide stable\, continuous power to buildings and communities even when the electrical grid is down as we experienced in the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy and Hurricane Maria\, among other events in recent years. We’re talking about energy storage technologies\, community solar\, on-site generation\, microgrids\, cogeneration (combined heat & power) and more.\n \nAs startups\, developers\, tech companies\, governments\, utilities\, and community groups dedicate themselves to creating new solutions towards building a resilient energy infrastructure\, we invite you to join the conversation on May 16th at GreenHomeNYC’s May forum hosted by Urban Future Lab\, to meet experts\, ask questions\, and learn about what’s happening here in NYC and beyond.

SUMMARY:The Sociology of Horseshoe Crabs and the Humans Who Use Them
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Lisa Jean Moore of SUNY Purchase\, author of Catch & Release\, explores the interspecies relationships between humans and horseshoe crabs – our multiple sites of entanglement and enmeshment. Humans have literally harvested the life out of horseshoe crabs for multiple purposes; we interpret them for understanding geologic time; we bleed them for biomedical applications; we eat them as delicacies; we rescue them for conservation; we capture them as bait; and we categorize them as endangered after having once collected them for agricultural fertilizer. On the other hand\, the crabs make humans matter by revealing our species vulnerability to endotoxins\, offering career opportunities\, profiting off of crab bodies\, and fertilizing the soil of agricultural harvest for human food. \nDr. Moore’s lecture will be introduced by Dr. Elizabeth Albert of St. John’s University and author of Silent Beaches: Untold Stories of New York City’s Forgotten Waterfront; and by Matt Malina\, Founder and Director of NYC H2O\, our frequent collaborator for events and lectures. \nThis lecture is free and open to the public\, but we ask that you RSVP at the Eventbrite page for the lecture.

SUMMARY:Climate Change and Socio-Demographic Dynamics in Mexico
DESCRIPTION:This presentation will discuss two studies on the impacts of climate change in Mexico. The first uses novel estimates of climate change impacts on agricultural productivity and food prices in Mexico to examine how this will differentially influence rural vs urban poverty in Mexico (2020–2040). It considers the implications of different socioeconomic trajectories for household poverty and whether mitigation policy matter for poverty reduction.  The second will examine the results of a scenario-based exercise on the impacts of climate change on Mexico’s future internal migration flows and population distribution. \nPresenters:  \n\nLandy Sanchez Peña (Center for Demographic\, Urban\, and Environmental Studies\, El Colegio de Mexico)\nSusana Adamo (CIESIN\, The Earth Institute at Columbia University)\n\nRSVP here:\nhttps://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfeq7kKW-bcm-csDyqGJaZB7XoKw8EekWrW8L1R_RFjGv-CAg/viewform

SUMMARY:International Conference on Sustainable Cities
DESCRIPTION:Creating sustainable cities has become one of the most pressing issues facing the United States and the global community. As Dr. Steven Cohen\, Executive Director of the Columbia Earth Institute\, has noted\, a sustainable city “uses resources as efficiently as possible\, uses renewable resources as much as possible\, recycles as much as possible and has the least possible impact on the natural environment.” There is a growing consensus\, Dr. Cohen argues\, that our cities must be “attractive\, exciting\, healthy and productive places to live\, learn\, develop\, work and play.” \nThere is\, however\, far less consensus about how cities can most efficiently and effectively design and implement the architecture and systems to grow and prosper sustainably\, as the world’s population urbanizes and the threats to urban areas increase. Rigorous research related to sustainable cities is thus more central than ever\, and the questions scholars face are urgent: What is a sustainable city? What is the role of climate change in sustainable cities? And what is the future of the sustainable city—and how can we best get there? \nIn a unique collaboration to help answer these questions\, three universities—Fordham\, Columbia and NYU—in the world’s greatest city are organizing a two-day interdisciplinary International Conference on Sustainable Cities. The Conference\, which will be held on May 1-2\, 2018 at Fordham University’s Lincoln Center campus\, will bring together leading scholars from a range of disciplines with policymakers\, business leaders\, and advocates to share insights and set a comprehensive research agenda for this vital subject. \n\nThis event will be held at Fordham University Lincoln Center Campus\, McNally Amphitheatre\n113 West\, 60th Street\, New York\, NYRegistration is free\, but required. Please register online here:\nhttps://www.web.fordham.edu/info/27345/sustainable_cities_conference_registration \nFor questions about the event\, please email sustainablecitiesconference@fordham.edu

SUMMARY:Eco Fashion Expo
DESCRIPTION:It is estimated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that the U.S. disposes approximately 12.8 million tons of textiles annually. This number has increased largely due to the rise of ‘fast fashion’\, in which clothing is essentially so inexpensive that it is practically seen as disposable to the typical consumer. Although many retail companies and nonprofit organizations have been making efforts to collect old clothing\, much of it still ends up in the landfills. Since many companies outsource their clothing\, much of the most severe impacts are seen abroad. Fueled by these alarming facts\, we believe it is incredibly important that the student body is informed of these negative impacts in a visual\, yet creative way\, which is why we organized an eco-fashion show. Our goal is to promote sustainable fashion choices and values in the Hunter and NYC community. We want to open people’s eyes to the great possibilities that “trash” can become\, encouraging reuse and repurposing.
