SACC Dallas: Designing a Sustainable Future

Join us for an engaging evening with GFF Design, an award-winning Dallas-based multi-disciplinary design and architecture firm, as we explore how Sweden's holistic approach to urban planning and Texas' innovative solutions can inform and inspire one another in addressing the growing need for sustainable development.
 

Sustainability is an ever-increasing topic within the architecture and design community and at the city planning level. GFF will discuss two initiatives that significantly influence architecture and development in the city of Dallas:  The AIA Framework for Design Excellence and the Dallas Comprehensive Environmental and Climate Action Plan (CECAP).Alongside this discussion we will review a range of past projects to highlight both successes and difficulties in implementing these measures in this market, and tips for how to apply these measures to future projects.
