Living Future 07 is now part of this solution. Four presenters share their big ideas! Living Future Competition Competition winners will be announced on April 27, during the Cascadia Big Bang Celebration. The AIA Seattle Committee on the Environment, along with the Cascadia Region Green Building Council issued a challenge to award teams whose entries reflect true sustainability as measured by the definition of the Living Building Challenge. The submitted projects will be used as a platform to stimulate the jury led discussion regarding the innovative approaches either pioneered or brought to a new level with the 2007 competition entries. Big Bang Gala and Fellowship Awards Emcee: Jason F. McLennan and Special Guests During Cascadia’s Big Bang & Gala Celebration, Cascadia will unveil a number of new initiatives at a regional and national level, welcome Cascadia’s newly elected Board of Directors, celebrate our regional branches, and present achievement awards to the dynamic individuals who’ve invested a lifetime of blood, sweat and tears fighting for the environment on our behalf.
