Dale Guest Lecture by Bob Berkebile FAIA and Rod Kruse FAIA, BNIM9/9/2011 | 4:30pm-9:00pm in Kocimski AuditoriumAny list of accomplished, influential environmentalists and preservationists includes Bob Berkebile. Highly regarded by fellow professionals, Berkebile focuses on improving the quality of life in our society with the integrity and spirit of his firm's work. In 2009, he received a Heinz Award from Theresa Heinz and the Heinz Family Foundation for his role in promoting green building design and for his commitment and action toward restoring social, economic and environmental vitality to America’s communities through sustainable architecture and planning. He was also third on a list of the Top 5 U.S. Individual Role Models for green and sustainable design in the 2009 DesignIntelligence Sustainable Design Survey.Berkebile will present "The Ultimate Design Problem: Sustaining Human Life" at approximately 5:30 p.m. He says, "The competition between our growing human family and the resources and decreasing natural capital that support human life are now undeniable. Our current design doctrine for community living is not sustainable. Do we have the capacity to design a new community model that ensures long-term vitality for our children and Spaceship Earth? Our grandchildren's lives depend on our answer."

WindGreensburg’s vast wind resources are part of an emerging economy and should be harvested.

Built EnvironmentBuild a town that encourages interaction between residents, welcomes guests and serves as a model community. New development should be durable, healthy and efficient. City projects will lead the way by becoming examples of green practices that are built to last.

The Impact of Behavior

In the UK (Beddington Zero Energy Development) of reductions in carbon

– 58% = building envelope, equipment & renewable energy

– 42% = behavior changes (food, personal transport, waste)

In the US (Sonoma Mountain Village) of predicted reductions in carbon:

– 31% = buildings envelope, equipment & renewable energy

– 69% = behavior changes (food, personal transport, waste)

Lifestyle and behavior changes are important!

Can nature teach the architect how to design more effectively?

How will the architect of the future practice

The imperative “We can!” has rarely been followed with the question of “Should we?”

Does the architect’s role become the facilitator and organizer of ideas and research rather than the generator ?

Can the built environment really change our society and norms?

Does the built environment really matter in an age where life and space are increasingly digital / virtual?

How can we further sustainability? Is the answer to sustainability a building by building approach or a more holistic systematic reorganization of our cities and social and political systems?

What role do architects take in dealing with the issues associated with a global population expected to hit 10 billion people by the next generation ?
