Aug. 28, 2008 - PRLog -- BartonPartners Architects Planners Inc. announced today that Thomas C. Barton, III AIA and Jeremy Greene, AIA have been invited to speak at the upcoming 21st Century Building Expo and Conference, to be held September 11-12, 2008 at the Charlotte Convention Center in Charlotte, NC by the North Carolina Home Builders Association.

Barton will present two seminars for the North Carolina Home Builders Association. Barton’s presentation “Building a Boomer Friendly Home” on September 11 at 2:00pm will provide insight into the planning and design considerations attracting today’s “50+” buyers, and “From Bypassed to Boutique: Special Solutions for Challenging Sites” on September 12 at 10:00am will highlight ways to see the unique aspects of difficult sites as opportunities rather then obstacles.

Greene’s presentation, “Urban Infill: Myths and Misconceptions,” on September 12 at 2:00pm will separate myths from facts about urban (and suburban) redevelopment. Through case studies and other examples, Greene will discuss ways to lower risks and increase chances for gaining big profits through redevelopment.
