Hi Everyone, We have some wonderful additional speakers such as James Kitchen, and his sponsor, Even Plotkin, speaking about their project to erect a 35' tall bird sculpture in downtown Springfield, at One Financial Plaza. We also have a company talking about it's collaboration to build a translucent free standing shelter for a farmers market near Boston. In addition, the venue itself is fascinating, The Massachusetts Green High Performance Computing Center in Holyoke. This is a high speed data processing facility, newly built in Holyoke as a collaborative of five universities; Harvard, MIT, BU, Northeastern, and Umass, to do large scale data processing for research for these universities. It sits between two canals. the processors are water powered, and water cooled. The building itself is beautifully designed. We will also be having a brainstorming session at lunch to identify future collaborative public art and design projects.
