Pioneer Architecture

Saturday, September 28, 2024 | 2 - 3 pm

This lecture explores the methods pioneers used to design homes and buildings before the use of modern technology like air conditioning. We will learn about techniques such as passive cooling, natural ventilation, and the use of local materials which enabled early settlers to adapt to their environment sustainably. Join us to learn how these time-tested strategies offer valuable insights for contemporary sustainable architecture.
