Architect Ken Hirsch AIA LEED AP, president of Hirsch Architects, Inc. was a presenter at the International Subtropical Cities 2011 Conference in Ft Lauderdale. The conference was co hosted by Florida Atlantic University (FAU) School of Architecture and Queensland University of Technology, Australia. His presentation was titled Creating a Sustainable Vision.
The learning objectives were to:
1. Experience a new awareness of thinking about the past, near term and distant future in a holistic way.
2. Understand the concepts of sustainability, vision, mission, the visioning process and charrettes.
3. Acquire new distinctions in the language of social, economic and environmental issues.
4. Gain confidence in the process of creating a vision through integrated design and collaboration.
As a follow up to the presentation to the international group, Hirsch was asked to present the concept to a group of senior architecture students at FAU. The concept was well received and led to the role as “critic” for the senior class project. The project involves master planning the Ft Lauderdale Las Olas corridor.
