09.16Design Ecology sponsors West Coast Green 2009
Design Ecology is proud to be a sponsor for the largest green conference on the west coast, to be held this year at Fort Mason on the San Francisco waterfront. Over 10,000 attendees are expected, including architects, designers, policy-makers and eco-heads from across the western US. Look for our garden and stage displays, and stop by our booth or the “landscape lounge” in the tradeshow, which will feature our partners providing materials and support for the show gardens.
Josiah has participated for the past three years and is pleased to be a featured speaker again this year, on the topic of integrated water management. In his usual entertaining fashion, he will disclose our systemically dysfunctional water infrastructure and talk about proposed solutions via ongoing projects that are addressing these issues at multiple scales. Expect compelling discussion on green roofs, living walls, graywater, rainwater harvesting, stormwater control, all in a context of habitat restoration, cultural change, and an optimistic future vision.

Hi Josiah,
I’m enrolled in SSU/Green Bldg prgram. I attended you Fall lecture there , and saw your Design Ecology constructs at West Coast Green. The bamboo frames I found to be quite simple and elegant, albeit likely a bit labor-intensive. I made some digital photos of them that you might be interested in seeing. If so, how can I forward them to you? Thanks.
