Peter Busby is the managing director of the San Francisco office of global architecture and design firm Perkins+Will. Busby, a global leader in sustainable design, visited SPUR on July 8, 2015, to talk about the evolution of architectural practice over the last few decades to encompass increasingly cross-disciplinary concerns that extend well beyond the envelope of an individual building. The presentation drew from Busby’s book Architecture’s New Edges, published earlier this year by Ecotone Publishing.
