Towards a Sustainable Architecture: Wei Wang to speak on AIA Brooklyn Panel about Circularity
Wei Wang has been invited as a panelist for an upcoming AIA Brooklyn Panel on Sustainable and Circular Construction. A part of the organization’s “Towards a Sustainable Architecture” series, the
discussion will explore approaches to designing buildings and urban environments in a way that minimizes waste and maximizes the reuse of materials. The panelists will discuss sustainable approaches to manufacturing and sourcing of materials, cleaner construction methods, clean energy solutions, and the deconstructability of buildings with an eye toward recycling of building materials.
Wei will be joined by two other panelists: Sylvie Binder, Policy Advisor at the NYC Mayor’s Office of Climate and Environmental Justice, and Felix Heisel, Director of the Circular Construction Lab at Cornell.
Circularity is a topic that Wei is actively engaged with as a practitioner and researcher. She recently participated in a Metropolis Magazine hackathon on a similar topic, the result of which was published last month: 7 Proposals for a Circular Built Environment.
