ARCHITECTURAL ENGINEERING INSTITUTE (AEI):
2021 CONFERENCE LIVING BUILDINGS:
THE NEW FRONTIER OF INTEGRATED DESIGN
April 7 - 9 , 2021 (Virtual - Times Vary By Day)
In light of the ongoing public health concerns related to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Board of Governors of the ASCE Architectural Engineering Institute (AEI) have announced that the AEI 2021 Conference Living Buildings: The New Frontier of Integrated Design will be held as a virtual conference during the original scheduled dates of April 7-9, 2021. The conference Program Committee looks forward to delivering to you bleeding-edge technical presentations focused on sustainable building design and construction!
The concept of living buildings has recently emerged as the new ideal for sustainable building design and construction. Defined as a building that generates all of its own energy with renewable, non-toxic resources, captures and treats all of its water, and operates efficiently with an uncompromising aesthetic, living buildings represent a new species of buildings that blends boundaries between the built environment and the natural world and necessitates creative, integrative engineering and architecture solutions to meet rigorous design challenges.
