How is New York City at the forefront of environmental design efforts? Architect Jean Parker Phifer, who recently published Public Art New York and teaches environmental design at NYU, will discuss what makes New York one of the most sustainable cities in the country and the challenges we face moving forward. This talk will explore urban infrastructure, historic buildings and recent LEED rated designs, as well as examine the integration of greenery and art into sustainable public space. A book signing will follow the lecture.
