Wellness Architecture Initiative
Wyoming Roundtable

September 20, 2018

The Wellness Architecture Initiative hosted a Roundtable discussion and interactive forum on “Maximizing Your Next Project’s Hidden Capital” in Jackson, Wyoming. The gathering was moderated by Veronica Schreibeis Smith, CEO & Founding Principal of Vera Iconica Architecture and Chair of the Wellness Architecture Initiative.

The panel of local experts and global specialists traveled to Jackson, Wyoming from three continents to share their insight and experience – both the victories and the losses. They identified the hidden capital every project has, and defined how we can move into a future where every built environment maximizes human and planetary wellbeing.
