We hosted our third guest, Phillip TABB founder of Dr. Phillip Tabb Design Studio, in the second of three thematic seminar series organized by the Department of Architecture, "Career Outside the Box". Tabb presented his 50-year old career as a green architect and scholar.

He was also the Liz and Nelson Mitchell Professor of Residential Design. He is the author of several publications on green architecture and planning, of which one on "Biophilic Urbanism" he presented to our faculty in May 2020. In this event, he gave us the opportunity to travel in time with him, as he unfolded his various stages of development from a young architect into a renowned expert in sustainable urban design coupled with spirituality.
