SPEAKER BACKGROUNDS


MARK W. CHALOM, Architect

Mark specializes in blending handcrafted Traditional and Contemporary styles with sustainable technologies. His company, Solar Design & Analysis, is a full service architectural firm that has been on the cutting edge of passive solar design since 1975. Mark's experience spans both design and construction of environmentally appropriate buildings. His work has been published in various books, national magazines and part of an international earth exhibit
in Paris, France.

Mark has taken his architecture beyond Passive Solar and looks at the total structure, site, materials, systems, water, landscaping and their interaction with each other and the environment. His sensitivity to the historic cultures has blended these new technologies with the traditional forms and materials that have evolved here in Northern New Mexico out of common sense and appropriateness.

Mark is known for his expertise in the development of the Toolbar "Solar Adobe" and has over two hundred of these buildings to his credit. He is always exploring other appropriate materials and how to integrate them into his projects.

Mark has lectured and taught classes from elementary school to college level programs. He also conducted several hands on workshops on adobe and passive solar design at Solar Energy International, Southwest Solar Adobe School, Los Lunas NM, the Santa Fe Community College, The Ghost Ranch Conference Center Abiquiu, The Heard Museum, Phoenix and through Adobe Solar Associates, a professional educational group that he was a partner in.

DHARMA LIVING SYSTEMS, INC.

Dharma Living Systems, Inc. (DLSI) is a consulting and design group specializing in the holistic integration of water, energy and green building systems. DLSI is a group of architects, engineers and ecologists able to incorporate workable sustainable concepts into any design project.

Presenter: Douglas Patterson, Principal Partner

Douglas manages the architectural design and the incorporation of water systems into many green building projects, such as the El Monte Sagrado Resort in Taos, NM., The Living Lab project In Taos, NM., and the Living Law Office building In Lake Worth, Fla. The El Monte Resort was presented at the 2003 USGBC conference in Pittsburg under the title of "Ecosystems as Infrastructure". The Living Lab was a poster
presentation at the 2004 USGBC conference in Portland. The Living Law Office Building was recently written up in the Palm Beach Post. These three projects represent the direction DLSI strives for in green design, although DLSI has also managed to work significant water recycling and ecological principles into many utilitarian projects such as car dealerships, automobile body shops, and commercial condominiums.
