Green Roofs for Healthy Cities Launches Contest

By Anonymous -
Green Roofs for Healthy Cities (GRHC) has launched The Great Community Resiliency Project Contest.

In 2012, the U.S. experienced 11 extreme weather-related disasters, each causing in excess of $1 billion in damages. Recently, Hurricane Sandy pummeled the U.S., and the economic effect likely will top $60 billion.

GRHC is seeking submissions of ideas of how living architecture can create more resilient communities in the face of climate change, resource shortages, natural disasters and environmental degradation.

The top picks will be published in the Winter 2013/2014 issue of Living Architecture Monitor magazine. They also will be published on GRHC's Facebook and Pinterest pages, where people will vote on the ideas. The person with the most votes will win a delegate pass to CitiesAlive: 11th Annual Green Roof & Wall Conference in San Francisco Oct. 23-26.

Please submit your ideas in one of the following formats: editorial (maximum 75 words); video (maximum 1 minute); audio (maximum 1 minute); or one drawing or photo (high-resolution) with caption. Submissions must be sent to Jennifer Foden Wilson, editor of Living Architecture Monitor magazine, at jfodenwilson@greenroofs.org by Aug. 28.

The Dotted Line: When Contractors Can Walk Off the Job

By -
When general contractors or subcontractors sign on to construction projects, they usually start off believing everything will run smoothly. But, during the course of the work, issues sometimes arise that force all parties to go running back to their contracts in order to evaluate their options. One of those options for construction companies is to simply stop work, but contractors need to take care when making such a big decision. “Stopping work and ultimately terminating the contract is one of the most radical things you can do,” said Joseph McManus Jr., attorney and shareholder at law firm Carlton Fields.   Luckily, most of the circumstances under which contractors are clearly entitled to stop work are included in the most popular standard forms of contracts.
