This special annual event is organized by Architectural Record in collaboration with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The third conference in the series offers a chance for architects, allied design professionals, and students to network in a casual setting while learning about cutting-edge research into recycling building materials and circularity, innovative retrofit projects, urban renewal, carbon impacts of landscapes, and achieving net-zero carbon in buildings.
The day-long event is complimentary to students and qualified members of the architectural design community and offers multiple networking opportunities as well as a cocktail reception following the official program.
