Information: NGBC and its related companies design, teach, and Build in Nature’s Image. We have deep experience in Building Science, Biomimicry, and Resilience Theory, and anthropocentric measures such as the USGBC’s LEED portfolio.

We distill and emulate Life’s Deep Practices through Ecological Performance Standards, a concept we created to transform our buildings and communities into functional, restorative elements of living systems. Managing water as the Northern Forests. Homes that store more carbon than they create. Creating Community Deconstruction Infrastructures that, functionally, mimic decomposition and the natural law of Reciprocity and Return.

We humbly find inspiration from ancient, adaptive wisdom of Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK), as well as from cutting-edge, innovative Scientific Ecological Knowledge (SEK). As an example, the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, possibly the World’s oldest living democracy, after 1,000 years today still deliberates for the Seventh Generation to Follow.
