Event presented by Reimagine Buildings Collective
Tuesday, May 5th from 12pm-1pm eastern (Virtual)
Heather McKinstry sits down with Michael Ingui to talk about Dattner, 425 Grand Concourse, and advice on starting a multifamily Passive House project.
For Heather — whose career began with a thesis on disaster relief housing and has since focused on creating healthy, inclusive spaces that minimize environmental impact — resilience isn't an engineering metric. It's a question of equity. Everyone should live in buildings that hold up, even in the face of climate extremes.
A lively Q&A session will follow the interview.
