LORI GIBBS
Lori combines the sensibilities of architecture and writing to bring inventive ideas into functioning fruition. Green-It-Yourself is Lori's latest eco-friendly design/build workshop project. Previous workshops she has conducted designed and built rain-water collection, reuse and toilet flushing systems at Habana Outpost in Brooklyn.
Other projects she has worked on include: the Greening and Growing NYC exhibition at the Museum of the City of New York (about PlaNYC) and Reinventing Grand Army Plaza Design Competition and Exhibition (sponsored by the Design Trust for Public Space).
Drawings, buildings and words engage people, and by grafting these mediums together Lori has also written and researched for architectural publications including, Log (published by the Anyone Corp.) and Thinking Outside of the Structure:Critical Thinking for Designers and Architects (Fairchild Books, Conde Nast Publications).
