Settling into summer with travel and outdoor adventures in mind – a few thoughts on architectural design for ecotourism projects and sustainable tourism. A trip to Ecuador this spring, for the Ecotourism and Sustainable Tourism Conference (ESTC15) inspired some tips on traveling as an ecotourist and hosting ecotourists. The conference also prompted a project to design and build a booth with a team in Ecuador - an illustration of international collaborations. In the ArtNook, there's a fresh taste of summer with photography inspired by the season.
