Environmental Life Cycle Design Symposium — Hillier College of Architecture and Design
On March 30 to April 1, NJIT is co-hosting a virtual symposium with the American Center for Life Cycle Assessment (ACLCA), with the specific aim of connecting two parallel systems’ thinking practices: environmental life cycle assessment (LCA) and the multiple practices in the field of design such as urban planning, architecture, interior and industrial design. The aim of the symposium is to explore areas of convergence and further integrate strategies for sustainability from environmental LCA into design decision-making.
