IMPACT: The Importance of Water
This video on the importance of water highlights the impact we all have in designing in our Arizona context and desert climate. As designers of the built environment, we have a profound impact on our communities—socially, economically, and environmentally. This video underscores the critical issues focused on water, and explores how our design choices shape the Arizona landscape and desert climate.
Speaking in the video: Enrique Vivoni; Brian Farling, AIA; and Michele Shelor, FASLA
OUTREACH: Arizona Kids Build
