Architecture and Engineering for the Environment: Utilizing Green Materials
Utilizing "green," or ecologically sound, materials was the focus of a recent breakfast forum hosted by Columbia University's Science and Technology Ventures. The gathering focused on issues ranging from the strength and aesthetics of green building materials to economic incentives for "building green." More than 125 people, representing city government, academia, architecture and manufacturing, attended the May 6 event. Jeffrey Sachs, director of The Earth Institute, who delivered the opening remarks, called green materials "a proper industrial ecology and energy system that makes sense for the 21st century in view of the climate risks that are pressing upon us."
