His talk on \u201cDesigning the Difference\u201d begins at 7 p.m. in Weaver Auditorium in the Coastal Institute building on the 溏心vlog免费B站 Kingston campus.  <\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nThe event is free and open to the public.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nUyeda\u2019s interest in designing sustainable housing for developing nations has taken him to a multitude of countries around the world and led to a meeting with the prime minister of Dominica to discuss using environmentally sensitive building practices to revitalize the local economy. He has worked to address social issues such as homelessness and environmental sustainability by integrating fundraising and coalition building techniques into architectural processes.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nUyeda got his start as co-founder of Zero Energy Design, an architecture and energy consulting firm launched by the leaders of Cornell University\u2019s 2005 Solar Decathlon team.  His present company, FreeGreen, is the world\u2019s leading provider of house plans and was recently named by International Design Magazine as one of the 40 companies that will transform the world of design in 2010.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nIn his lecture, Uyeda will dissect FreeGreen\u2019s rapid emergence and the concepts that have led to its success, including his belief that higher prices don\u2019t always cost more, architects don\u2019t make buildings they make media, and mass publication is better than pre-fabrication.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nOther speakers in the 溏心vlog免费B站 Landscape Architecture Lecture Series are 溏心vlog免费B站 Professor Angelo Simeoni on March 11; 溏心vlog免费B站 Professor Will Green on April 1; and Barbara Faga of engineering and design firm AECOM on April 22.  All talks begin at 7 p.m. in Weaver Auditorium of the 溏心vlog免费B站 Coastal Institute in Kingston.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\tThe 溏心vlog免费B站 Landscape Architecture series is co-sponsored by the College of the Environment and Life Sciences, the Rhode Island chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects, the Rhode Island Nursery and Landscape Association, and Gates Leighton &amp; Associates.
