I know Sinéad Cullen is not alone in once feeling inadequate for not being a fists-in-the-air, protest-in-the-streets kind of activist. For not taking a bold stand in that dimension of The Great Turning we call "Holding Actions." I also know she's not alone - and many of you listening will relate - in being deeply inspired by spontaneous creative expression, by powerful shifts in perspective, and by creative new design solutions. An architect, visual artist, and Movement Medicine teacher, Sinéad is deeply engaged in the other two dimensions of The Great Turning: "Seeing with New/Ancient Eyes," and "Shifts in Consciousness." Click Play now to hear us talk about: shifting from a "linear economy" way of designing buildings toward structures (and art!) that are "designed for disassembly" plus why sometimes people don't like that ideagetting lost and coming home through creativitytraveling the spiral of the Work that Reconnects through movement and visual artcreative expression as the bridge between hopelessness and possibilitysolutions that emerge from slowing down, and valuing diverse perspectivesand Sinéad dreaming up a new chapter in her life that brings her back to architecture, integrating Movement Medicine, the Work that Reconnects, and her time spent in ecovillages and indigenous communities Be sure to visit the show notes, where you can learn more about Sinéad, as well as find links to more info about the circular economy, a video of Jason McLennan's talk at Bioneers, the Living Building Challenge, and two poems that came up during our conversation: turningseason.com/episode19

Jason McLennan started the International Living Future Institute. He created the Living Building Challenge, followed by the Living Product Challenge, the Living Community Challenge, The Red List, and the Declare Label just to name a few. Oh, and he also has written 7 books, but otherwise he's a bit of a couch potato and needs goals. When he's not creating new green standards, he's running his own architectural firm, McLennan Design, and when he's not doing that, he's breaking dishes with us! And we found out he's pretty damn good at breaking things!!

Sim Van der Ryn has been leading the way for a more regenerative, resilient, and sustainable future as a pioneer of the green building movement. This movement emphasizes the value to our health and well-being of a direct connection to nature. Designing in collaboration with nature is a major tool toward creating a vital new architecture for an empathic world. Van der Ryn has been a leading proponent of the green building movement (even before it was known as that), and for more than a half a century has been leading the way to a more regenerative, resilient, and sustainable future. His books include The Integral Urban House: Self-Reliant Living in the City (Random House 1982) and Design for an Empathic World: Reconnecting to People, Nature, and Self (Island Press 2013)Interview Date: 1/22/2014   Tags: Sim Van der Ryn, nature deficit disorder, regenerative architecture, Christos’ fence, People’s Park, Occupy movement, resilience, green building, closed environments, toxic environments, watercolors, water coloring, five principles of eco-design, biomimicry, Bill McDonough, Jason McLennan, Bucky Fuller, Buckminster Fuller, mimic nature’s process, incidental contact, natural light, Monterey hospital, Real Goods Trading Company, water conservation, ecological architecture, Community, Environment/Nature/Ecology, Social Change/Politics

Jason McLennan calls himself a "professional troublemaker." For his entire career Jason has been pushing the boundaries on what is possible in the built environment. To him, sustainable and regenerative design shouldn't be something we need to have a label for--it should just be the way. Jason is the principal of McLennan Design and is considered one of the world's most influential individuals in the field of architecture and the green building movement today. He is the founder of the International Living Future Institute, which launched the Living Building Challenge to the world in 2006. Jason shares his story on this podcast from growing up in a coal mining town to getting started as an architect. He talks about how the Living Building Challenge came about and his process of conceptualizing the impact he wanted to have on the built environment.  He is one of those visionaries that will forever be hailed as a pioneer and catalyst for the transformation toward a civilization that is socially just, culturally rich, and ecologically restorative.

Jason F. McLennan is an architect and prominent figure in the green building movement. He is the Founder and the board of the International Living Future Institute and Cascadia Green Building Council, a chapter of both the U.S. Green Building Council and the Canada Green Building Council. He is the CEO of McLennan Design, his own architecture and planning firm that does work all over the world. McLennan is also one of the creator of Pharos, an advanced building material rating system, Declare, an ingredient disclosure label for building products, and JUST, a social justice transparency platform for organizations. In addition, he developed the Living Community Challenge and the  Living Product Challenge. Show Highlights  Jason transformed the industry when he launched these projects,  programs, and materials certifications to build on what LEED had started.   Get inspired by a pioneer that really shook up and raised the bar in how a green building can be built and operated. The brilliant thing LEED did for the market and changing the world. How the Living Building Challenge supplements LEED for those that are ready to go beyond looking at levels of certification.  Jason created the Red List to do the “impossible” to create transparency and change the course of conversations for manufacturers all over the world.  2020 is proving to be a year of incredible disruption. Jason gives you humanity's next 5 assignments we need to default to. We need to find and focus on the end game. Why green building is way off target in every category of impact.  How to go further and faster. Check out The New Climate Pledge Arena. “Mentorship has been incredibly important to me. I think we reach our potential when we learn from others who have been down the paths further...It really pays to listen to elders and learn from those that have walked the path before you. I think too many people now, for whatever reason, discount our elders and that's great peril. They focus too much on themselves and that's what technology and the social communication and everything that we have at our disposal is allowing for sort of a level of narcissism that's unhealthy.” -Jason McLennan  Jason McLennan Transcript Jason McLennan's Show Resources and Information Jason McLennan: Books - Amazon.com Drawdown: McLennan Design: Home International Living Future Institute 097 Marni Jade Evans LinkedIn Connect with Charlie Cichetti and GBES Charlie on LinkedIn Green Building Educational Services GBES on Twitter Connect on LinkedIn Like on Facebook Google+ GBES Pinterest Pins GBES on Instagram GBES is excited our membership community is growing.

What if our buildings weren't just a little bit more energy efficient or decorated with a few extra plants? What if they gave back to the environment instead of taking away from it? Biophilic design is a buzz word, and we're on board! Meet the visionary Canadian architect Jason McLennan, founder of the Living Building Challenge and the Living Future Institute. This Episode is all about how we can not just green our built environment but totally rethink it so that it’s regenerative, and provides havens for other species too. How might we truly live in harmony with nature? And as Jason puts it: “Create places that are not only lovely but express the love we have for people, for animals and for the environment.” Oh, and seriously, we need to fix the toilets! Happy listening!

David talks with one of the most influential individuals in the green building movement today and the recipient of the prestigious Buckminster Fuller Prize, Jason McLennan. Listen in as they talk about the impact of green building in the world.

In this 25-minute podcast conversation, we meet Jason McLennan, who moved to Bainbridge in 2006 and is an internationally celebrated green architect who pioneered the concept of the "living building challenge". As Jason explains, a "living building" is one that is not only trying to do less harm to the world around it, but is designed to improve the environment in and around it. Jason is in the midst of many ground-breaking projects. He is designing and building his home as a living building on Bainbridge. He is starting a school to bring more students to his breakthrough design philosophy, and is growing a new architecture practice. A new book is near publication. Questions answered by Jason in this conversation include: what's the origin of your commitment to green building design what was your role in helping to develop LEED green-building standards what's a living building, and how did you develop that concept describe the greenest building in Seattle...the Bullitt Center building what's so valuable about a composting toilet? what design features are you putting into your home? tell us about your new school, new firm and next book what restores your spirits when faced by climate change denial? We conclude with a note of gratitude about the positive and inspiring messages we hear from our friends at Bainbridge's own Yes! Magazine.

A living building is like a flower, planted and rooted to its place. It collects its energy from the sun. It harvests its water from the rain. This building does not pollute. It engages actively with the environmental around it. And its beautiful and inspiring. This is natures blueprint for building a better world, says visionary architect Jason McLennan. He designed the Living Building Challenge 2.0 to raise the bar on green building: meet or exceed what nature provides. While the standards seem impossibly high, it may be simpler than we imagined.

Guest Jason McLennan, CEO of the Cascadia Green Building Council and of the International Living Building Institute, speaks with Diane Horn about the Living Building Challenge.
