Join us this November at Grace Farms Foundation for an afternoon of creative exploration during the Rest House Project Workshop! Together, we’ll brainstorm, build, and reimagine spaces centered on rest, wellness, and intentional living through hands-on design activities.
We’re honored to collaborate with the Design for Freedom by Grace Farms team and contribute to their mission of building community through sustainable and ethical design practices.
Reserve your spot today—we can’t wait to create with you! 🌟
Hayes Slade, Anna Dyson (Yale CEA), and Sharon Prince (Grace Farms Foundation) presented “Ethical Decarbonization and Our Building Materials: Constructing a New Future” at the AIA Conference on Architecture this past summer in Washington DC this
Architects are positioned to play a critical role in removing embodied emissions associated with the lifecycle of building materials, from the extraction of raw materials to demolition. In pursuit of ethical decarbonization, Forbes [DO2]cites how this urgent call to action is perhaps the most comprehensive to date and a significant step toward the construction sector’s net-zero ambitions.
In this session, leading experts and architects will explain how to activate and accelerate this transformational shift through strategies like avoiding waste and new extraction by moving to a circular economy, shifting to earth- and bio-based building materials, and improving the decarbonation of cement, steel, and aluminum!

Cocktails & Conversation is a series of dialogues about design that join an architect with a critic, journalist, curator, or architectural historian to discuss current architecture and design issues at the Center for Architecture. Each program includes a custom-crafted cocktail—one inspired by the architects’ work and created especially for this event.
James and Hayes will be discussing a small handful of projects and focusing on how consideration of site can be a catalyst for their design process.
