Daniel Sagan will join us to explain the Design/Build movement, from Henry David Thoreau and his contemporaries to the modern era. Beginning with Henry’s small cabin by Walden Pond, Sagan will trace the movement of Design/Build as it branches out beyond the minds of transcendentalists and grows, over time, to become a prominent part of the present-day architectural landscape.

Sagan is the co-founder of Terra Firma, Inc., a design/build firm based out of Randolph, Vermont, as well as an Assistant Professor of Architecture at Norwich University. He is co-author of the Vermont Build Greener standards for new homes. Sagan received a Masters of Architecture from Yale’s Graduate School of Architecture and has worked as a personal design assistant to Maya Lin, aiding in the design of the Civil Rights Memorial in Birmingham Alabama and the early stages of the Penn Station Sculpture. Sagan is co-curator of the exhibit titled “Design-Build in Vermont” which will be at the Fleming Museum at the University of Vermont in the Fall of 2008.
