SOLD OUT

Eric Corey Freed, the organicARCHITECT 

Eric is a licensed architect (California, New Mexico, Arizona), and a recognized pioneer in the tradition of Organic Architecture, first developed by Frank Lloyd Wright. A lifetime proponent of individualism and sustainability, Eric Corey Freed knew he wanted to be an architect at the early age of eight. 

Promoting both an organic and ecological approach to design, Eric wishes to provide an alternative to what he calls the "harsh, style-driven fashions" that are so popular in architecture today. 

Tonight, he'll present a humorous slide show, discussion and sign copies of Green Building for Dummies, his latest book. He is well-known on many fronts of green architecture, design and building. His accessible "list of no-brainers for every project, and Green Guidelines for Architect, Contractors, your Office and Home, can be found at his web site: http://www.organicarchitect.com/.
