Next Generation focuses on our continuing effort to
enable architecture studio culture to implement the
goals of the Architecture2030 Challenge. We call on
faculty, practitioners, content experts, and students to
share tools, case studies, and innovative studio
exercises with attendees through workshop experiences. Well augment the participants
contributions with materials and exercises relevant to
the Next Generation project. The retreat will
prepare attendees to implement these techniques and
strategies in design studios at their own institutions
and will pave the way toward their students competing in
our proposed Campus Triathlon competition. This
Triathlon will challenge
interdisciplinary design teams to propose modifications
to master plans, buildings, or single spaces on their
campuses to achieve carbon neutral, net zero energy
performance. The first-year competition will be a
test-of-concept limited to retreat participants and will
focus on a campus building redesign. |

Retreat
participants will stay on the University of Idaho McCall Field
Campus in semi-rustic cabins; use the campus indoor and
outdoor classrooms during the day; and enjoy gourmet meals in
the on-site dining facility. Formal presentations will be
scheduled during morning and evening
sessions, leaving afternoons open for informal networking,
hiking, swimming, being chased by wildlife, or impromptu
gathering of work groups.
The final day of the retreat will be held at the
Integrated Design Lab in Boise, ID. Transportation between
Boise and McCall will be provided as needed.
The
retreat will be focused around the theme of preparing students
and faculty to design a carbon-neutral world: issues to be
addressed will include carbon-neutral studio projects, design
tools, interdisciplinary collaboration, social networking, and
thinking beyond energy. This retreat is the next step in
SBSEs ongoing commitment to leadership in carbon-neutral
design.
