There will be a focus on how to take advantage of an extremely forgiving climate like that of Newport Beach. Architectural highlights will include how to use sun, light, and wind to directly shape the form of a building.

Greg Mottola is a principal in the San Francisco office of Bohlin Cywinski Jackson, a preeminent architecture, planning, and interior design firm with additional offices in Seattle, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. Greg is an award-winning designer of workplace, government, and university buildings, as well as a range of smaller projects that include theaters, restaurants, and residences. He merges sustainable design into humanely modern architecture, and is keenly interested in the tectonics of building and designing for the evolving nature of the modern workplace. His approach is exemplified in the Robert L. Preger Intelligent Workplace at Carnegie Mellon University, which is used by researchers to test new ideas in workplace design; Adobe Systems' San Francisco headquarters, which have received LEED Gold and Platinum ratings; and a new civic center complex for the City of Newport Beach, California. Comprised of city offices, a council chamber, and an extension of the existing main library, the interiors of Newport Beach Civic Center use a very flexible work environment that adapts readily to different organizational needs. A graduate of Carnegie Mellon University, Greg joined Bohlin Cywinski Jackson in 1990.
