Hello friends! Hope your week is going well.
So, last month, I had the privilege of viewing a very relevant and thought provoking film titled, “The Greenest Building“, produced by Wagging Tale Productions and directed by architect/film maker, Jane Turville. I viewed the documentary at the beautiful Gerding Theater within the historic Portland Armory building. Synopsis…
“The Greenest Building” aims to incite change in the way Americans see their own geographic communities. With a focus on the partnership between the built environment and the natural environment, the film promotes a better understanding of the symbiotic relationship between reuse of buildings and the conservation of natural systems that sustain life.
Here is a little peek from You Tube to check out…
This is the first of the clips from the film…here are the second and third.
It is no longer playing at the Gerding, but fear not, OPB will air it in April. Click here for dates.
I was really impressed with the sustainable projects that were featured! They even highlighted Oregon city (Jane’s home town) and it’s historic downtown district. I was also completely enchanted with the incredible work of Amy Harrington McAuley of Oculus Fine Carpentry. She lovingly restores historic windows and wow, she does some beautiful work!
The mantra Reduce, Reuse, Recycle needs to applied to all our building and construction projects, not just our curbside waste.
Set your DVR’s and don’t miss this compelling film!
