Fundamental changes in the nature of architectural practice and building construction are taking place today. Those changes were clearly evident at the 2007 Build Boston convention and trade show. This conference has become, over the years, one of the key learning opportunities for the construction professions. And with over 15,500 attendees and a hall full of exhibitors, many workshops at the November conference were sold out in advance.

More than two hours before the 9 a.m. opening session for Greenbuild was set to begin in Chicago's McCormick Place conference center, that largest of U.S. convention centers (in square footage) was already bursting at the seams. If you were looking to register for the conference, the line might be negotiated by lunchtime. If coffee tempted, the line at the in-house Starbucks snaked all the way into a sky bridge around the corner from the store.
