The “Women in Preservation” virtual speaker series features women from a variety of backgrounds who are working to save historic places in Arkansas and across the country. All programs are free, thanks to generous support from DEMX Architecture.
Please join us on Tuesday, October 10 at 3:30 p.m. for a talk by Lori Ferriss, Design Research and Teaching Fellow at Northeastern University and Architecture 2030 Senior Fellow.
Lori Ferriss is an architect, structural engineer, and preservationist focused at the intersections of building reuse and climate action. She is a co-developer of the CARE Tool, which estimates the carbon benefits of reusing and retrofitting buildings, and her research in establishing carbon accounting methods and standards of practice for existing and historic buildings has been featured in publications ranging from the Journal of Architectural Conservation to Architect Magazine and presented on-stage at the UN COP27 climate conference. Lori is the 2023 Chair of the AIA Committee on the Environment, a Steering Committee Representative of the Climate Heritage Network, and a Senior Fellow of Architecture 2030.
