SPEAKERS:
Dr. James E. Hansen
Dr. James Hansen is arguably the world's leading scientist on global
warming. He is the head of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies
in New York City.
Ralph Cicerone, president of the National Academy of Sciences said of
Dr. Hansen's climate science work, "I can't think of anybody who I
would say is better than Hansen. You might argue that there's two or
three others as good, but nobody better."
Edward Mazria AIA
Edward Mazria, founder of Architecture 2030, is an internationally
recognized architect, author and educator. His architecture and
planning projects span a thirty-year period, each employing a cutting-
edge environmental approach to its design.
After the AIA, USGBC and ASHRAE recently adopted the 2030 Challenge to
address the Building Sector's role in the global warming crisis,
Mazria wrote "The task we face is daunting. Working separately, we
could accomplish something significant in each of our respective
spheres. But by working together, we actually have a chance to
influence the course of history."
Chris Luebkeman AIA
Chris Luebkeman is a Director and leader of Arup's global Foresight
and Innovation initiative. He is tasked with exploring and
synthesizing the trends affecting society's development.
Luebkeman is a senior fellow of the Design Futures Council and in a
recent article wrote, "There is no doubt that, as our built
environment has transformed from a local phenomenon to a global one,
we are now confronted with more pressing social, technological,
economic, environmental and political change forcing us to a local
mindset - on a global scale."
Susan Szenasy
Susan Szenasy is editor-in-chief of Metropolis, and has led the award-
winning New York City-based magazine of architecture, culture and
design through twenty years of landmark design journalism.
In a recent university lecture, Szenasy summed up her role at
Metropolis, "As an editor, my job is to ask questions. So the question
I ask of you now is this: how will you prepare yourself to make hard
choices? And as a follow-up, what can you contribute to making a new
pattern, one that reflects the 21st century ethos of environmental
sustainability and social equity? Are you willing to take part in
redefining the edge?"
