Cultural Events Calendar

"The Burlingame Early Childcare Center is featured in the newly published Creating the Regenerative School. Ford Architects, design architect for the project, wrote an international realized survey book of best practices in designing early childhood through 12^th grade learning environments. The book features the unbuilt Aspen Burlingame project as an example of design for the full range of neurological, social, and physical development of children, in addition to climate responsibility. The Burlingame Early Childhood Education Center project is published as an example of architecture for wellness of users and responsibility to the broader environment. You’ll hear from Alan Ford of Ford Architects and Andi Korber, principal of Land+Shelter, about the project and its significance in the community in this engaging and focused discussion, centered around Creating the Regenerative School.”
