Is stone green?
June 9th, 2009
On June 24th I’ll be taking part in the Mountain Green Conference on the campus of Warren Wilson College in Swannanoa, North Carolina. I will be there to discuss Sustainability in Stonework Construction.
As I have prepared for this I have been developing a visual tool I call the Green Target, shown above, that is useful for analyzing sustainability on four important attributes. It is meant to promote dialogue and provoke creative solutions for making stonework greener.
I have just added three new pages to the site that summarize what I’ll be covering.
- Green Targets explains the tool.
- The Cabin Case Study gives a detailed example of the tool in use.
- Good Ideas offers some helpful suggestions for sustainable stonework.
These ideas are still in development and your feedback is most helpful.
