Architects/Designers/Planners for Social Responsibility (ADPSR) is a terrific national organization concerned with peace, social justice and the environment. I've only been privileged to meet and work with some of the local members of the ADPSR Chicago chapter. Currently it's headed by an awesome young architect (almost all the Chicago members are architects), Dan Hatch. The Chicago ADPSR is hosting the annual Mumford Awards, June 13th. Dan's also connected us with a very interesting sustainable project, The Black Oaks Center, run by the dynamic duo of Fred carter & Dr. Jifunza Wright Carter. They will be guest presenters at the award event and the following day, Black Oaks will be sponsoring a bio-diesel bus for a community building day. Both these events and people and places should really inspire you...
Since I lack photos of these people & places, instead I've featured Chicago's downtown (above) as we saw it June 1st while we were installing a rooftop planting in Evanston (hope the third time's a charm after the developer and a previous landscaper). Typically our weather is variable, but this day was wild! To demonstrate, (below) you can see the sky looking north at the same time as I took the first shot looking south. Later, I will post pix of the process...
