Book
My book, BIM in Small-Scale Sustainable Design, is an in-depth discussion of designing better, quantitatively validated sustainable buildings using building information modeling. Find it at Amazon.

Teaching

For Spring 2010, I'm teaching graduate-level Environmental Controls II (thermal controls, passive systems) at the UT Austin, as well as two undergraduate sections of Building Technology V (lighting, daylighting, acoustics) at UTSA.

Space 2009
Lunar Regolith Particles in Outposts, for which I'm the lead author, was accepted at the AIAA Space 2009 Conference in Pasadena in September.

Lecturer

I am once again teaching to graduate students at the UT School of Architecture this Fall; this time Environmental Controls I (lighting, daylighting, acoustics).

Publication
Indoor Air Quality Implications of 222-Rn from Lunar Regolith, of which I am the lead author, will be published in Lunar Settlements, a book arising out of the 2007 Rutgers Symposium of the same name.

Teaching and press
I am teaching Environmental Controls II to graduate students and Technical Communication at the UT School of Architecture in the Spring 2009 semester. There's a profile of me in the Fall 2008 issue of St Johns' College Magazine.

Engineering
May 2008: I have completed my Master of Science in Architectural Engineering at UT. My Master's report was entitled Indoor Air Quality Engineering Challenges in Lunar Habitats.

Teaching and design
September 2007: I have accepted a teaching position at the Cockrell School of Engineering in the department of Civil, Architectural, and Environmental Engineering at UT, as well as teaching in the School of Humanities at St Edward's University. I am also designing sustainable projects as a sole practioner.

I've gotten on the blogwagon

I'll be posting short essays primarily on topics pertinent to sustainable architecture from time to time. Feel free to read and comment.

Back in school
In January 2006 I began a Master of Science in Architectural Engineering at UT, with an emphasis in sustainability and design for extreme environments.

On HGTV
The Lydia Street project aired on HGTV's show, ReZoned. The episode is posted on YouTube here.

Lydia Street Project
Follow the construction progress of this historic century-old train depot turned residence.

2002 Homes Tour
The Lakeside Residence was on the 2002 AIA Austin Homes Tour, October 5-6. The Homes Tour is a very valuable and enjoyable viewing of some of Austin's best-designed homes.

One Stone at a Time
Michael Barnes' full-page spread on owner Jan Gauvain and Moon Rise Ranch appeared on August 29th, 2002 in the Austin American-Statesman.

2001 Homes Tour and This Old House Magazine
The Moon Rise Ranch Project was on the 2001 AIA Austin Homes Tour, and was also published in the January/February 2002 issue of This Old House Magazine. The project is on the cover and featured in an 8-page article starting on page 74.

Not So Big
Read Julie Bonnin's article on Studio Mosaic (François Lévy's former practice) and the Not So Big House.

April 2000
Michael Barnes' interview of François Lévy in the Austin American-Statesman.

December 1999
