[GSBN] Looking for Help in British Columbia

[David Arkin, AIA]

Hi GSBN Community:

Anni and I have been approached by a group in British Columbia that is looking to build a sizable (27m x 40m x 15m high) semi-temporary film studio shelter structure.  It may need to be permitted as temporary to save time but their hope is that it could possibly be re-permitted as permanent.  

It's located near the coast and possibly not a good candidate for bale building.  However, sequestering carbon is a goal and they have expressed some interest in the HemCrete systems:   http://www.limetechnology.co.uk/hemcrete.htm  Timber is another obvious local resource, and there is ample local expertise in working with it.

We are hoping to identify some like-minded British Columbia architects who might have interest in collaborating with us on this venture.  I thought I'd put it out to this list knowing that we have a good number of Canadians on it, including some wonderful ones in the west.  

Much thanks and good wishes for 2013 to you all,

David
