SBSE Green Curricula Inventory: UNCLE
SBSE WANTS YOU!
In August of 2001, SBSE representatives Walter
Gronzik, Mary Guzowski, and Jim Wasley joined a broad group
of architectural educators at a retreat at the Wingspread
Conference Center sponsored by Second Nature, a non-profit
with the mission of greening University curricula. The purpose
of the retreat was to initiate discussions on a broad based
effort to bring ecological literacy to the forefront in architectural
education.
Second Nature has since folded, but several
of the initiatives discussed at that retreat live on. Specifically,
SBSE is committed to carrying forward the idea of a green
curricula survey. Motivating this effort, Environmental Building
News has expressed interest in using this survey as the basis
for a Guide to Green Architecture Programs, and SBSE member
Margot McDonald (Cal Poly San Luis Obispo) has received funding
for a similar effort for the State of California.
To participate, please review the objective
and subjective survey forms posted below, and provide feedback
on survey design and answers to survey questions to Jim Wasley
at jwasley@uwm.edu. We
have inherited these surveys in a draft stage, and have the
chance to shape them significantly as well as put them to
work. Please also use this opportunity to post your own program's
building science curricula on the SBSE web site. As we finalize
our version of the surveys, we will develop an expanded format
for posting this information as well, but is never too soon
to stand up and be counted!
For background on the Second Nature initiative,

at Wingspread posted below; "How Can the Architect Contribute
to a Sustainable World?"

Like most proceedings, the executive summary of this retreat
is well worth reading, and the documentation of the individual
sessions cryptic to anyone not directly involved, but
full of richly mysterious undercurrents. |
