Ever heard of the Harvard Five? We are at the Bruce museum for the documentary and discussions.

In the late 1940s, this group of visionary architects—Philip Johnson, Marcel Breuer, Landis Gores, John M. Johansen, and Eliot Noyes—put New Canaan, CT on the map.They traded traditional walls for floor-to-ceiling glass, blending the indoors with the great outdoors. Their work, like Philip Johnson’s iconic Glass House, revolutionized modern American architecture.

I'm excited to share how we're moving beyond wood and embracing high performance fire and storm proof homes. These homes and buildings aren't just a passing trend, they represent a smarter more resilient way to build. This course showed how a few simple but powerful design choices can reduce carbon emissions, lower operating and insurance costs and make buildings safer and more resilient.
