Restoration Farm was founded in 2007 and is committed to sustainable agriculture. The farm does not use herbicides, pesticides, or synthetic fertilizers. The farm provides Long Islanders with a high standard of quality food, while reducing the miles that Food travels. Community supported agriculture (CSA) is a cooperative model that puts farmers and eaters in direct, intimate contact. By sharing the risks inherent in farming, this model allows growers to avoid debt, employ sustainable methods, and build farms that are deeply connected to the communities they serve. On the tour of the beautiful acreage, we will learn the sustainable principles that Restoration Farm implements to rebuild their soil, and their water efficient strategies. Architects will learn how design must account for how a building relates to the microclimate, or how the soil can support local flora. Each relationship builds on the other to create a strong, thriving human-nature ecosystem..

(RE) Connecting Communities is a conference bringing together architects, constructors, engineers, and landscape architects to discuss the social and economic barriers that occur when highways separate communities. Using successfully completed projects, attendees will have the opportunity to ask “how to questions” of practitioners and elected officials that have overcome barriers to create a more cohesive and inclusive environment that benefits residents and business.

This pivotal event will empower you with the knowledge and tools necessary to identify work opportunities that will positively impact communities.

Through interactive workshops, expert panels, and networking, you will gain insights into innovative approaches to community development, sustainable design practices, and collaborative strategies for inclusive urban planning.

Following the conference, network and celebrate at the AIANYS Excelsior Awards & AGC NYS Build NY Awards, honoring excellence in architecture, construction, and design for publicly funded projects.

By Kelly Hayes Mcalonie, FAIA, AUA, LEED AP

Kelly Hayes Mcalonie, FAIA presents twenty years of research on Louise Blanchard Bethune, FAIA (1856-1913), the first professional woman architect in the United States. Despite Bethune’s fame during her lifetime, she is an enigma. Hayes McAlonie has sought to change that through a series of initiatives to shed light on this hidden figure of American architecture. Her most recent project is Bethune's biography, published by SUNY Press. Hayes McAlonie will share her insights on the obstacles Bethune encountered in pursuing architecture and her many victories along the way. Hayes McAlonie will describe the architectural profession of the Gilded Age and the parallels between the profession of that era to today’s.

Kelly will be signing copies of her book at the event!
