On May 31, 2019 at the Samberg Conference Center at the MIT Sloan School, architects and other design professionals gathered to learn from leading-edge practitioners and researchers about the impacts and opportunities related to materials and products.

Presenters shared strategies for realizing carbon-thoughtful design. Attendees left with literacy on the issues of embodied carbon and implementable approaches for forward-looking practice. Resources from the conference.

In 2019 ArchitectureBoston became a digital first publication.
