Description
Learn how Drew Pedrick (AIA, LEED AP), Founding Principal of McTigue Architecture, figured out how to use cost savings as leverage for energy savings before efficiency was even a thing. He and I discuss his work designing everything from award-winning cruise ship terminals in Hong Kong to the LEED Gold-certified LAPD headquarters in downtown LA (and everything in between!) How can we design buildings with a higher purpose in mind? What does building “flow” really mean? How do we work together with city officials and legislators to push for cleaner energy, materials, and better-performing buildings? What tools and technologies are available today for creating a positive user experience? How can we use silkworms to organically grow buildings? Listen and find out! About Drew:With a career spanning 35+ years, I've learned much from my clients, benefited from each team and enjoyed the process and results of each commission. All projects have their unique conditions, journey and outcome. I enjoy my clients and value their needs, goals and all that they invite us to consider together. My greatest enrichment comes from collaborating, discovering and innovating in order to create and witness people responding positively. The results of an inspired team with great talent and ingenuity are long-lasting. (www.mctigue.net) Show Notes: Conscious Capitalism - www.consciouscapitalism.orgMIT Mediated Matter - mediatedmattergroup.com/neri-oxmanCooper-Hewitt Museum - www.cooperhewitt.org
