The exhibition is intended to give architects, developers and contractors the courage and desire to accept the 2,000-watt vision as a challenge for the design community. The18 case studies demonstrate different approaches to sustainable architecture – some with complex technical solutions and some with clever references to traditional construction methods. Whether small projects or large developments, retrofitted housing stock or new construction, these designs create a sustainable future for the city. In Switzerland, “Green” is no longer an option, it’s the Law! Smarter Living is brought to the United States by the U.S.-wide program ThinkSwiss – Brainstorm the Future in collaboration with Cleantech Switzerland and the City of Zurich.

The teachers bring dynamic arts lessons to young patients, ages 2-24, in healthcare settings.

In 2011, the team in Durham taught 3,145 art lessons to 636 patients, siblings, and family members. For the month of December, selected works from patients were displayed at the Center for Architecture and Design.
