So a few weeks ago I attended an Art of Sustainability Lecture at UC Extension in San Francisco. It took me a while to post this because I wasn't sure if it counted!
So, the lecturer was Eric Blasen of Blasen Landscape Architecture and his work was pretty awesome! He did this gorgeous weekend retreat home in Napa (pictured above). It was so beautiful and blended right into the environment. Anyway, he lectured about the "Art of Sustainability" and how he used a "light touch" on his work. He talked about the preservation and restoration of the site to make it look good, and also be good on the environment.
I really liked it because he showed that it was possible to be able to design architecture in ways that it doesn't look like a massive man made building that sticks out like a sore thumb in gorgeous locations.
