A highlight of the evening was the debut of the ReBuilding Exchange’s first-annual Reuse Design Competition, co-sponsored by the American Institute of Architects, Committee on the Environment (AIA COTE). Thank you to all the creative lighting designers who entered the competition, and congratulations to Patrick Bakkum for the winning entry!
We also want to thank our volunteers, attendees, media partners Mindful Metropolis and Natropolis, Great Lakes Brewing, Half Acre Brewing Company and Whole Foods for providing refreshments, and generous silent auction contributors for making this event a great success and helping us raise over $16,000!
