The Triple Bottom Line:
A Conversation with Bob Berkebile, FAIA


Note Special Date and Time!
Tuesday, February 26th from 11:30 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.

In cooperation with the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation, the Civic Design Center is honored to host Bob Berkebile, FAIA, distinguished architect, environmentalist and preservationist, for a special lunch time Urban Design Forum. This Forum is in conjunction with Mr. Berkebile’s visit to Nashville as keynote speaker at the Green Development: Good for Water and the Bottom Line Conference.

The Forum will begin with a 20 minute presentation by Design Director TK Davis on what has been happening in Metro Nashville during the past year which is consistent with the Ten Principles of the Plan, with an emphasis on projects and initiatives that exemplify social, environmental and economic sustainability.


This presentation will stimulate a conversation between Forum participants with Mr Berkebile on how, by combining design and leadership skills, new approaches to holistic, integrated community building can be achieved in Nashville and elsewhere.

Mr. Berkebile will have an opportunity to discuss how his career has utilized “education, historic preservation, quality housing, mental health and public safety, and neighborhood conservation as tools to restore social, economic and environmental vitality.”

Members of the audience are welcome and encouraged to bring lunch with them for this event.
