ARCHITECTURE FOR HUMANITY TORONTO, in collaboration with the Gardiner Museum, is pleased to present a free public education lecture, "Green Building in an Urban Setting", presented by Dr. David Moses of Equilibrium Consulting. Moses, whose work includes innovative commercial, residential and community-based projects, proposes the question "Why can't we all live and work in green buildings, right now?" He will examine the challenges faced by designers in North America when entertaining sustainable alternatives to standard building practice, including the biggest challenges of convincing clients, building officials, builders and even other designers of the long term benefits of sustainable design.
