Event presented by Reimagine Buildings Collective
Friday, May 20th from 12pm-1pm eastern (Virtual)
Nick Grant and Jon Broome are co-authors of The Good Building Book — a newly published guide that pushes back on one of the field's most persistent assumptions: that you have to choose between great architecture, strong building performance, and affordability. They will join us in this AMA Friday, where they can explain the ideas behind the book and make the case that the trade-off most practitioners take for granted may not be as real as it seems.
Ask Nick and Jon Anything!
