    Advancing Sustainability Symposium 2012 : Charles Renfro shares his idea of how architects and urban designers' role play as creators of urban intervention. By introducing number of his projects, such as The High Line (NY), and The Broad Art Museum (LA), Charles Renfro discusses architect's innovative thinking process and creative perspective towards cities, humanities and environment.

He is a graduate of Rice University and holds a Master’s degree in Architecture from Columbia University’s Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation.

About this Blog

After a highly successful Advancing Sustainability: Business + Design Symposium in October of 2011, students from Woodbury University have gathered once again in order to prepare their second annual event. The topic of this year focuses on the "cardiovascular system" of a city—its infrastructure. The discussion will investigate how various infrastructures—perform, exchange, and are incorporated into the natural environment.
