Trad building conference 3
Trad building conference 3
Two recent phrases are new to me: Lean Architecture and Makers Space. Lean architecture seems to be what it sounds like, traditional work performed by the most simple methods that can be contrived, but that embrace tradition and ornament.

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. to write Original Green foreword
I just spoke to Bobby Kennedy Jr. on Friday, and I’m delighted and honored that he’ll be doing the Original Green foreword! His wife, Mary Richardson Kennedy, attended the very first Original Green workshop in New York years ago, and they have rebuilt their flood-damaged house according to Original Green principles. Also, I’ve just finished drawings on the Kennedy Katrina Cottage, which they’ll be building shortly behind their home to replace their original guest house that was crushed by a falling tree. The point of saying all that is that Bobby isn’t just writing the foreword to be a nice guy. Rather, he’s been supporting, advocating for, and living the broader definition of sustainability that the Original Green represents for years. Thanks so much, Bobby!
PS: As soon as I have the foreword in hand, we’ll set a release date. Looks like early May.
