Nationally recognized architect, designer, writer, speaker, and advocate Lance Hosey is President & CEO of GreenBlue, a nonprofit that works to make products more sustainable. He has been featured in Metropolis magazine’s “Next Generation” program and Architectural Record’s “emerging architect” series. Until 2009, he held the position of Director with William McDonough + Partners, the world-renowned pioneer of sustainable design, with which he had been associated for nearly a decade. In 2005, Lance founded the Just Building Alliance, a think tank and advocacy group devoted to fair trade and social justice in the construction industry.
His essays on the social and environmental impact of design have appeared in publications such as The Washington Post, Metropolis, Architectural Record, and Architecture, and currently he is a Contributing Editor with Architect, where he writes the monthly “Ecology” column. Lance is co-author (with Kira Gould) of Women in Green: Voices of Sustainable Design (Ecotone Publishing, 2007), the first book in the design industry to study the connections between diversity, innovation, and the environment. His forthcoming book, The Shape of Green: Aesthetics, Ecology, and Design--or How Beauty Could Save the Planet, demonstrates how form and image can enhance conservation, community, and comfort at every scale of design, from products to cities. Lance has taught at the University of Virginia, the Catholic University of America, and Yale University and has degrees in architecture from Yale and Columbia. In 2009, Lance was voted an Honorary Fellow of the Institute of Green Professionals.
