Explore building techniques of the past, present, and future. From the master builders of the Middle Ages and their enduring legacy, to the stagnation of the industry during the Great Depression and World War II, and the new masters of present day who keep both progress and sustainability at the forefront of their minds.

 The 21^st century has created a generation willing to step up and fight climate change, but who are the stakeholders? What are the needs to be addressed in the advancement of building science? Where will the future lead?  
 
 WISE and Jaan Timusk invite you to join the conversation. All are welcome but space is limited, please register on Eventbrite!
