Favorite:

Bryan is the founder and owner of Eco-Tech Construction, a Florida-based general contracting firm that focuses on the design and implementation of projects and communities that work in concert with natural systems. He has piloted projects that demonstrate both the practicality and affordability of Permaculture design principles by utilizing inherent properties of the site in combination with a choice of materials creating a built-environment that treads very lightly on its surroundings.

Bryan's TEDxTampaBay talk enlightens us about several examples of innovative sustainable building projects that change people's relationships with each other and with their environment.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxTampaBay, where x=independently organized TED event. At our TEDxTampaBay event, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.
