With AIA’s commitment to the 2030 Challenge (carbon neutrality for all new construction)\, examples of radical sustainability are invaluable. Join us for a walking tour led by Facilities Manager\, Sierra Dickerson and participate in a Q&A session with the design team of Frank Harmon\, FAIA and David Swanson\, RLA\, ASLA\, to learn how they navigated challenges to deliver a LEED Platinum Education Center and enhanced conservation garden – a resource for all of North Carolina. \nThe walking tour will include: \nBotanical Garden walking tour led by Facilities Manager\, Sierra Dickerson featuring discussion of the Display Garden\, Education Center\, native habitats\, and the parking area design. \nDesign Team Q&A and discussion led by Frank Harmon\, FAIA and David Swanson\, RLA\, ASLA.  \nTopics of discussion include: \n\nHow the project was conceived\, and how the attitude of the design team supported the goals of the NCBG team\nHow both active and passive sustainability strategies were implemented\, and how the built facility integrates with the garden plan\nWhich community stakeholders were involved in the design\, and how their feedback benefited the project\nHow the theme of education was implemented throughout the building and garden design\nCollaborative process between architect and landscape architect\, and how the thinking and strategy shifted over the course of the design process\nKey challenges the design team faced during design and construction of the facility\n\n\nFrank Harmon\, FAIA is a multi-award winning architect who founded his North Carolina-based practice in 1985. While many architects have embraced the principles of sustainable design over recent years\, Frank has been designing environmentally responsible\, modern buildings for nearly three decades – long before “green architecture” became a part of the general lexicon. Sustainability is the most important architectural issues of our time. As a young architect\, he quickly learned that everything he designed would cause the earth to be stripped or mined. Stunned by that realization\, he knew that the only way he could work as an architect was to promise to make a site better than he found it. Sometimes that meant not building at all. From single-family homes and tiny artists’ studios to corporate headquarters\, commercial educational\, and institutional facilities\, Frank’s practice has gone to great lengths to ensure that the buildings are energy-efficient and environmentally conservative. \nDavid Swanson\, RLA\, ASLA was born in Beirut\, Lebanon. His family moved back to North Carolina when he was a small boy. His first interest was in planning and city management\, but eventually he settled on landscape architecture and graduated with an MLA from North Carolina State University College of Design in 1983. Swanson worked at Lewis Clarke Associates (LCA) when the first master plan for the North Carolina Zoo was developed as well as during the Fayetteville Street Mall Project in Raleigh\, NC. In 1988\, Swanson founded his own firm\, Swanson and Associates\, PA. The firm places particular emphasis on careful analysis through the planning process and preparation of creative and innovative solutions using sustainable design practices. The firm staff has over thirty collective years of experience in landscape architecture and planning in both public and private practice\, with particular experience in sustainable site planning and historic preservation issues. David also specializes in the use of native landscapes and natural settings\, and in the adaptive reuse of landscape and hardscape elements. \nSierra Dickerson is the current Facilities and Events Manager for the North Carolina Botanical Gardens. As part of her role\, she manages the ongoing sustainable policies for weddings and catered events at the facility. She also has given countless walking tours of the grounds to various community groups\, focusing on novel features of the LEED Platinum-rated Education Center and conservation practices of the garden. \nJoining us for the AIA Triangle Design Awards Ceremony?  \nSeparate registration required HERE
