John Boecker
Secretary
Architect John Boecker went green long before it became more routine. This Yale-trained architect has focused his practice exclusively on green buildings since 1996. He designed two of the world’s first 13 LEED Certified projects, signifying their sustainability. He also is a founding partner of 7group, a PA consulting firm that is focused on socio-ecological sustainability by manifesting regenerative thinking through design and development of the built environment and education. This work understands that each project serves as an instrument for co-evolving the vitality and viability of each community within which it is nested . . . and building capacity for authentic caring. As a keynote speaker and curator, John has facilitated workshops or lectured on the benefits of green buildings, integrative design and regenerative development in 35 states and 14 countries. John co-authored the Integrative Design Guide to Green Building, the seminal textbook for integrative design and construction.
