LA side trips
Posted by jenniferyoung on 1/21/14 at 5:31 pm
Last year, I escaped to Venice Beach, California for a prenatal workshop with my favorite yoga teacher. My sojourn by the sea consisted of morning yoga classes and afternoons walks by the sea with a few further away excursions. One highlight was a visit to dosa 818 . dosa is a clothing, accessories + housewares line designed by Christina Kim. I've admired Christina's designs for a while now and make a point of stopping by Tienda M whenever I am in Marfa. The (appointment only) studio in LA takes up the entire 7th floor of the Wurlitzer Building, a beautiful old building at 850 South Broadway...

Cameron and I continue our Travels to Cold Bike Races Series having attended the US National Cyclocross Championships in Boulder, Colorado last weekend. While in Boulder we took in the races, some local architecture, and visited friends. Katie Compton taking control of the women's pro race above. Jeremy Powers powering his way to the men's pro championship. Why run the stairs when you can ride them? Former San Antonio Environment Reporter Colin McDonald gets enthusiastic for the race (reflection). We visited former LF'ers Kimberly Drennan (pictured) and Rob Pyatt at their awesome new offices...

"Pick any firm in the country and there is a single person that just knows where everything lives, someone essential to the continuity and culture of the office, a keymaster of sorts. At LF this is Denise. Known by many nicknames (perhaps mostly to me), like “Double D”, “short stack”, “Sugar”, etc, she is the mapmaker for all historical and cultural information; the gatekeeper for all important images, like that 20-year-old slide that David Lake recalls taking long ago but doesn't quite know where it was stashed but is "critical" for his last minute presentation; she is the talent behind our...

1) Disclosure The more data, the better. This year we are making a commitment to collect utility data from as many projects as possible and – with the owner’s permission – publish the utility data of our projects on our website. We will also encourage other firms to disclose the utility data of their projects. As demonstrated by the various 2030 Districts, utility disclose is key to understanding use patterns and decreasing energy consumption. Each January, beginning this year, we will publish our firm’s energy consumption, water consumption, and transportation emissions for the previous year...
Green Schools Challenge

This past September, the Central Texas Balcones chapter of the US Green Building Council kicked off its first year of the Green Schools Challenge . The 2013-2014 afterschool program, based on the National Wildlife Federation’s Eco-Schools curriculum, engages 4 th and 5 th graders in green building practices by guiding them through a process of measuring their school campus, designing a project to improve their school, and evaluating the outcome of their project. In the first few weeks of the Challenge, students get a basic review of topics related to healthy, sustainable, energy efficient...
