Description

Learn how Drew Pedrick (AIA, LEED AP), Founding Principal of McTigue Architecture, figured out how to use cost savings as leverage for energy savings before efficiency was even a thing. He and I discuss his work designing everything from award-winning cruise ship terminals in Hong Kong to the LEED Gold-certified LAPD headquarters in downtown LA (and everything in between!) 
How can we design buildings with a higher purpose in mind? What does building “flow” really mean? How do we work together with city officials and legislators to push for cleaner energy, materials, and better-performing buildings? What tools and technologies are available today for creating a positive user experience? How can we use silkworms to organically grow buildings? Listen and find out!

About Drew: 
With a career spanning 35+ years, I've learned much from my clients, benefited from each team and enjoyed the process and results of each commission. All projects have their unique conditions, journey and outcome. I enjoy my clients and value their needs, goals and all that they invite us to consider together. My greatest enrichment comes from collaborating, discovering and innovating in order to create and witness people responding positively. The results of an inspired team with great talent and ingenuity are long-lasting. (www.mctigue.net)

Co-hosts Ian and Ginger spread the word that utilizing sustainable, green-building principles in construction, design, and urban development is not just morally and environmentally good, but also good business! New methods, materials and technologies to bring down costs and increase productivity are already here, creating a huge opportunity for anyone savvy enough to invest in venturing beyond the current status quo. We at Sustainable Homes of the Future are excited to dive into the details of the green-building "boom" and share our sustainability conversations and interviews with listeners here in Los Angeles and across the globe.
