Chad Oppenheim
“A More Primitive Future”
Mr. Oppenheim will lecture on his firm’s most recent explorations in constructing nature and learning again to live with the land and not on the land. Oppenheim’s designs set forth a future primitive experience for people seeking to reconnect with nature in a primal, visceral way. These proposals attempt to reinterpret the way people have dealt with the earth, setting forth new benchmarks for design, construction and sustainability in the natural environment.
The sustainable aspects of Oppenheim’s architecture are celebrated and holistic to the building expression – establishing an equilibrium of design, sustainability and economic viability that emphasizes constructability over architectural bravado. The firm leverages its green design expertise to minimize the impact on the environment and maximize the end-user experience and overall project performance. It is our intent to create landmark architecture that is highly sensitive to its context and climate.
