Sustainability is at the core of our hosts YGH Architecture firm and has informed their work
since its inception in 1964.

|
Yukari Kubo, Design Professional Associate AIA at Yost Grube Hall Architecture will be presenting on sustainability in architecture. She will be speaking about YGH's projects to fight embodied carbon, make more sustainable material choices, and why it is important to think about the embodied carbon over operational carbon right now.
|
Yukari’s passion for architecture lies in the intersection of sustainability, climate change, social equity, and design. She believes that through the integration of new and old technologies and design strategies we can create healing spaces that promote our connection to the ecological systems and can help change people’s habits to live more sustainably.
