 Could we transform the way we inhabit our planet by reimagining the built world around us? We're thrilled to be joined by Gene Kansas and Ted Bradford who shed light on the untapped potential within preservation, restoration, and adaptive reuse. We delve into the critical difference between mere building ownership and strategic real estate investment. Gene and Ted opine on the importance of viewing existing buildings as precious resources and how adaptive redevelopment is crucial for the sustainability of our cities, economies, and neighborhoods.

We also discuss the importance of community engagement and communication in successful project execution. By clearly understanding building systems and the importance of collaboration within the construction industry, we are empowered to challenge the status quo, question the disposable nature of the American building, and collectively strive to make our built world more sustainable. Enjoy!

Today, we welcome Daniel Hall, from Architects Builders Collaborative, sharing his insights into the vital improvements needed in building standards and the creation of affordable, green, and low carbon footprint multi-family developments. Could the construction industry be on the brink of a monumental shift, one that not only changes traditional building methods but also empowers citizens and communities in an unprecedented way?

The sobering reality is that green design and sustainability are no longer a luxury but a dire necessity, especially in affordable housing. Daniel reflects on a few unique and  highly successful projects. We confront the elitism in green building, discuss the impact of low carbon materials, and dissect the game-changing impact of panelized prefab construction on the green building industry. Moreover, we delve into improved building standards and their role in reducing carbon footprints, efficient construction techniques, and the relevance of proper air tightness and insulation. Enjoy!

Today we're joined by Booker T Washington, a visionary and strategic property  developer with deep roots in his southwest Atlanta community, and an expertise in technology. His micro home pocket community is the first of its kind to be developed by an African American, the first in the US to feature modern aesthetics, and the largest community of micro housing in Georgia.
 
Booker is building something different, providing new options for homeownership, but more than that, South Park Cottages represent the development of neighborhood community and the opportunity to connect with our neighbors and the outdoors. They're also a move towards stabilizing a community and an economy that suffers the result of temporary rental housing and disconnected citizens.

We discuss innovative solutions, empowering initiatives, and the potential impact of advancing homeownership. Enjoy!
