EMERGING aiaphiladelphia.org/annual-programs-and-events | 3 WELCOME Welcome to the 14th Annual Design on the Delaware at NeoCon East Conference! We are constantly evolving Design on the Delaware to provide our attendees with a conference experience that rivals the AIA National Convention but at a fraction of the cost. As always, we are providing the high level multi-disciplined programming that you are used to, but we’ve added a few extras that we think will really up the ante. In the second year of our partnership with NeoCon East, the premier design expo and conference for commercial interiors on the East Coast, Design on the Delaware attendees will enjoy complimentary access to NeoCon East Keynote sessions as well as free pass to walk the amazing tradeshow floor filled with hundreds of vendors. This year’s NeoCon East Keynotes feature Marc Kushner, Co-Founder and CEO of Architizer & Partner of New York Architecture Firm HWKN and Ayse Birsel, Co-Founder Of Birsel + Seck, an Innovative Design Studio in New York. We hope you’ll have a chance to take advantage of this great partnership and extend your knowledge and your network! New this year, there will be much more activity at the Center for Architecture and Design. Following the model we created for AIA Convention 2016, there will be a lot going on at the Center. Design on the Delaware conference attendees will receive free coffee and breakfast in the morning, lunch in our expo lounge, free wifi, and social events in the evenings. As an added bonus, you’ll be able to register at both the Center and the Pennsylvania Convention Center, whichever makes the most sense for your schedule. We hope you enjoy the 2016 Design on the Delaware at NeoCon East and can take advantage of the new format by carving out some time to visit us at the Center for Architecture and Design. If you haven’t seen the space since the renovations were completed, you really must check it out!

  • Biohabitats As the Township's Greenway and Trails Engineer
    801 Burrows Run Road Chadds Ford, PA 19317 (610) 388-1300 Fax (610) 388-0461 Website: www.kennett.pa.us Email: [email protected] SUMMARY OF BIOHABITATS TEAMS AND QUALIFICATIONS As a result of the separation between Penn Trails and Kennett Township, the Kennett Greenway needs a new Trail Engineer. The Kennett Greenway is an initiative to physically connect the Kennett community to its natural beauty through the formation of a 10- to14-mile pedestrian and bicycle loop. This network of trails linking Kennett’s preserved open spaces, recreational facilities, and other community assets, will be interconnected, safe, and well-maintained.1 This Township collaboration includes Kennett Trails & Sidewalks Committee and the Land Conservation Advisory Committee, the Kennett Borough and several private non-profit organizations, including Kennett Trails Alliance and The Land Conservancy for Southern Chester County (TLC). We recommend the new Trails Engineer for this initiative be Biohabitats. They are an environmental design and consulting firm who was founded on the principles of restoring the earth’s resources and inspiring ecological stewardship. Their team for Kennett Township includes two subconsultants: Meliora, an engineering firm who is committed to sustainability, and Unknown Studio, a landscape architecture practice that strives to create experientially powerful places that are durable, resilient, and timeless. All three companies are highly qualified, have an incredible staff who are experienced in working with Greenways and trails, boast a litany of awards and accolades, and have worked locally in and around the Kennett area. Biohabitats applies the science of ecology to restore ecosystems, conserve habitat, and regenerate the natural systems that sustain all life on Earth.2 They understand that earth’s resources are finite and, therefore steer projects toward sustainable designs while preserving the “sense of place” unique to each community they work with.
