Architects Kathryn McCamant and Charles Durrett, credited with bringing
cohousing to North America, will be leading this two-day intensive course
on the intricacies and realities of building cohousing, with
special consideration to San Francisco. With over two dozen communities
already in existence in the Bay Area, it's about time for cohousing to take
hold in one of the most progressive cities in the world. According to
Kathryn, “Cohousing recreates the relationships of old-fashioned
neighborhoods while at the same time being able to take energy efficiency
and sustainable design to a higher level because of the ability to plan at
the community level.” What does this mean for an ultra-urban, diverse, and
vibrant place such as San Francisco? Join us to learn how we can create a
village within a city that merges the best of both worlds.

We are looking for people of all ages and backgrounds, singles, couples,
and families, to join our community, but you don't have to be interested in
living in San Francisco to attend this workshop. The concepts that will be
covered apply to all cohousing, and we welcome participants from any
location.
