The Design Lesson of Slow Homes: John Brown at TEDxCalgary

When our homes become the architectural equivalent of fast food, TEDxCalgary speaker John Brown warns us that it's time to re-think how we live. Drawing on the parallels of the slow food movement, he shows how our standard fast-build home -- even ones that tout environmentally friendly "zero" emissions -- can be vastly improved by more careful design and building.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
