Lloyd Crossing; Margaret Montgomery, NBBJ, to unveil design strategies
for the new Gates Foundation Campus, influenced by Scandinavian models;
Robert Miller, Bohlin Cywinski Jackson, to discuss the new Ballard

constructed Green Roof Workshop.
Diane Sugimura of Seattle's Department of Planning and Development will

panel, and Jerry Finrow, UW Architecture Professor and former College
Dean, will moderate a discussion following the panelists' presentations.
The evening will be a rare opportunity to see projects that represent
cutting-edge sustainable design at four different scales of work.
This is the first in the new GLOBAL GREEN series. The event is supported
by the Northwest Danish Foundation and co-sponsored by the Green Futures
Institute and the Northwest Center for Livable Communities, both in the
UW College of Architecture and Urban Design. Watch for future events
that will focus on Sustainable Energy, and on Civic and Green
Infrastructure.
