Audrey Gray has written a stirring profile of Ed Mazria, FAIA, for Delacorte Review. I have admired Ed's passionate commitment to empowering architects to embrace their role in reversing global warming since I first saw him present his sobering slide deck (in the offices of Goody Clancy in 2002). He has continued to marshal facts, data, and evidence to help the entire industry grasp its impact. I especially love that Gray used Mazria's basketball roots as a metaphor in this story (this struck me as oddly timely, as we're coming up on what would have been this season's Final Four weekend).
Instead of cheering March Madness this year, we're weathering the coronavirus pandemic. And most of us who spend time thinking about climate change impact are thinking about how the pandemic is already shifting our lens on what must be done to avert disaster by halting emissions and reversing warming. In honor of Ed and so many others, let's channel our learnings from this global event as we face the climate challenge. It's here.
