We’re delighted to announce the initial speaker lineup for our upcoming conference, Designing the New West: Architecture and Landscape in the Mountain West. This new event, produced in cooperation with the Sonoran Institute, will cover a rich array of topics including the economics and politics of green design, urban revitalization, historic preservation, land design and rural development, resort design, and much more.

Among the many prominent professionals joining us for the event are Lori Ryker, author of Off the Grid and founder of the Artemis Institute; Paul Bertelli, who among his many achievements led the reconstruction of the historic conference venue itself, the Gallatin Gateway Inn; James Tuer, lead designer of the proposed Bitterroot Resort project; Ray Calabro of Bohlin Cywinski Jackson, who designed the new Grand Teton National Park visitor center; and Grant Jones, one of the nation’s most prominent landscape architects.
