How So Calif. Can Lead the Region to a Sustainable Future!
2020-06-04 12:00 - 13:00
Join Gary Lai from AHBE/MIG for a webinar on the role of landscape architects and climate change.
In 2018, the United Nations’ International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released their special report recommending keeping the world at 1.5 degrees C above pre-industrial levels by 2050. In response, municipalities, non-governmental environmental groups and AE industry professional organizations have dubbed this decade as the “Decade of Action” on Climate Change response. Landscape Architects are uniquely positioned to not only make a difference in this fight, but to lead the effort. Please join me for a discussion on climate change, local sustainability efforts, how Landscape Architects will be the key to humanity’s future and how you can get involved.

Landscapes - Made in California With Bernard Trainor
2020-03-16 17:30 - 19:30
AIA Santa Barbara Presents . . . . .
The American Institute of Architects, Santa Barbara, is partnering with Ground Studio to host a presentation by Landscape Architect, Bernard Trainor.
Bernard is the founding principal and design director of Ground Studio, with offices based in Monterey and Napa, California. Drawing on thirty-five years of passionate commitment to the study and practice of landscape design, he is involved with his collaborative studio team on every landscape project from conception to completion. Throughout the years, he has completed four academic programs, practiced professionally in three countries, and continues to lecture extensively on the subject of Landscape Design throughout the world.
Ground Studio envisions and crafts contextual California landscapes, thoughtfully balancing the character of the land, the identity of the architecture, and the lifestyles of people who live there.
Designing in a range of scales from compact urban gardens to expansive rural sites, we listen and observe to ensure the essence of the place is revealed, resulting in designs that inspire a deep connection with the land.
“In all cases we begin by exploring the connections between human, built and natural systems. Within these complex relationships, we practice an ecological approach to design that cultivates regeneration and restoration. Revealing qualities inherent in the site and utilizing local materials that blur the distinction between architecture and landscape, we balance the interplay of structure and nature. Essentially, we seek out elegant solutions that expose and elevate the spirit and poetry of a landscape.” Bernard Trainor
There is no charge for this event.
