The 2023 Boston Grey to Green Conference, taking place April 23-24, aims to explore the latest developments in green infrastructure science, economic valuation, asset management, public policy, technologies, and best practices in design, installation, and maintenance. The conference seeks to inform the current policy debate and advocate for a rapid and significant increase in green infrastructure investment, a growing trend worldwide.

At an intimate but dynamic Open House, the Boston Society for Architecture (BSA) gathered community groups, architects, philanthropists, and the general public to showcase the five finalist projects of the BSA's inaugural Request for Innovation competition—and to invite attendees and the community to support the projects' next stages.

In her 2023 State of the City address, Boston Mayor Wu called for “charting a new course for growth with people as our compass” that concentrates on what she defined as the most critical issues facing the city: resiliency, affordability, and equity. In the aftermath of Mayor Wu’s comments, there has been a lot of speculation about what the Mayor’s proposed changes to the development review process will mean for those in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) community. Approximately 50 members joined the BSA’s monthly Firm Principals Meeting on February 17 to hear from the Boston Planning and Development Agency (BPDA) about the agency’s new direction and engage in a dialogue about the BPDA’s plans.

To help meet the City of Boston’s ambitious goal of getting to carbon neutral by 2050, the Boston Planning and Development Agency (BPDA) and the Boston Society for Architecture (BSA) recently announced the second round of awardees in the Boston Mass Timber Accelerator program. Three development projects in Boston were selected to receive funding and technical assistance to explore the feasibility and embodied carbon potential of using mass timber construction.

Designing an architectural social equity framework, jumpstarting circularity in affordable housing construction, and centering the stories of some of Boston’s most vulnerable residents are among the creative proposals that have been selected by the BSA’s Request for Innovations (RFI) Selection Committee for further consideration.

Join us for an Open House on March 1, 5:30-8 pm, at which the finalists will present and discuss their ideas with members of the Greater Boston community. All are welcome.
