Email your proposal to both:

Walter Grondzik gzik@polaris.net and Bruce Haglund bhaglund@uidaho.edu
 


Help shape the 2007 retreat content. Proposals for sessions, presentations, workshops, demonstrations, or interactive activities that address one or more of these themes are invited:

1. Practitioners Theme
Activities, programs, and research in concert with design practitioners. Describe how these experiences inform teaching and practice. What do firms need from academia? What can academia give to firms? What synergies are possible?
2. K—12 Programs Theme
Activities and programs involving K-12 programs that enhance an understanding of building impacts on nature and ecology.
3. Communities and Studies Abroad Theme
Programs conducted with local community groups or beyond that address research, design, and nurturing the environment.
4. Innovations Theme
Exemplar tools, methods, and inventions that enhance energy- and resource-efficiency in building design and town planning.
5. Roundtable Discussions or Working Groups
“Hot topic” perspectives from SBSE colleagues to be discussed in an informal setting.

Limit your proposal to one page. All sessions will be seventy-five minutes in length (though shorter activities are welcome, too). Flip charts and digital projectors will be available. Presenters must bring their own computer and supply other materials as needed.
