New Project

Sustainable Building Design for ABC No Rio

EWB is seeking volunteers to help design a Green building, which will house a community center for art and activism on the Lower East Side. Paul Castrucci will present this new EWB project located in New York City.

Everyone is welcome, especially those with design experience in: energy and water efficiency and conservation; use of local and recycled materials; use of less toxic (low VOC) materials; recycling of materials from demolition; creation of a green roof; and use of both active and passive solar technologies.

ABC No Rio is a collectively-run center for art and activism. Since 1980, the group has been involved with community programs such as Books Through Bars and Food Not Bombs. It is a community committed to social justice, equality, anti-authoritarianism, autonomous action, collective processes, and to nurturing alternative structures and institutions operating on such principles.
