Retreat Menu SBSE Retreat 2004 Twenty Years Later: Reflections and Projections on Research and Teaching   Sitka Center for Art and Ecology Cascade Head, Oregon Wednesday July 7, 2004 - Sunday, July 11, 2004 Introduction While talking about their teaching specialty's relative isolation under the shade of a live oak in Berkeley, California in 1982, "Charlie" Brown and Ed Arens came to realize that building science faculty need to exchange ideas, materials, and resources on curriculum, teaching and research. To support this inter-scholastic exchange they formed the West Coast ECS Club. The first organizational meeting at the International Daylighting Conference at Phoenix, AZ on Feb 17, 1983 attracted 30 members. Over the summer the organization adopted the name Society of Building Science Educators (Ed's favorite name). The first SBSE meeting was at the University New Mexico's School of Architecture on Sept 10, 1983. SBSE held its first curriculum development retreat at Heceta Head in Oregon in 1986. Come celebrate SBSE's 20th year reunion (okay we can't quite count) at the 2004 retreat focusing on research and teaching themes originating from early SBSE members. How has SBSE influenced teaching? Where is SBSE headed in terms of embedding research into architectural education? Submit a proposal or simply register to participate. Space is limited. Logistics Coordinator G.Z.
