Feb 01, 2011

The BRA invites you to the second Symposium on the Greening of Government Center, to take place on Monday, February 7th from 4-6pm at the Modern Theatre located at 523-525 Washington St in Downtown Crossing (see below for invite). The Symposium will be free and open to the public, and will feature an update presentation by the firms leading the redesign process, Utile Inc. and Reed Hilderbrand Associates, as well as commentary form a panel of prominent Boston design experts, Alex Krieger of Chan Krieger NBBJ and Ted Landsmark of the Boston Architectural College. This event will serve to update the public on the results of a 3-day charrette on the redesign of Government Center held by Boston-based Utile Inc. in mid-December 2010. The charrette brought together leaders from both the public and private sector to provide their insight and commentary on a new vision for a greener and more accessible Government Center and City Hall Plaza. Tim Love of Utile Inc. will be presenting the key recommendations and ideas from the charrette, and Tim Love and Gary Hilderbrand of Reed Hilderbrand will discuss their thoughts on the next steps for the green redesign of Government Center. Alex Krieger of Chan Krieger NBBJ and Ted Landsmark of the Boston Architectural College will be sitting on a panel to provide feedback on the design and recommendations. As in the last symposium, the event will provide a chance for the public to ask questions of the presenters and panel, as well as share their thoughts on the Greening of Government Center.
