London Calling

Tue, 01 May 2012 04:00:00 GMT

Taking into account transportation infrastructure, venues, operations, and spectators, this summer's London Games are expected to generate some 3.4 million metric tons of greenhouse gases (CO₂e), according to the London 2012 Carbon Footprint Study. That figure compares in order of magnitude to the annual carbon footprint of a small country, say Iceland or Malawi. With that much carbon already gone, reviewing Olympic conservation measures can feel like reviewing a barn door with too many horses on the wrong side of it.

Structural Rethinking

Tue, 01 May 2012 04:00:00 GMT

If ever there was a moment to reset the way we build, now is the time. The last century's methods of building for global population growth have resulted in unprecedented environmental and climate impact. Our addiction to the fossil fuels we put in cars is no different than our profession's addiction to building steel and concrete structures that pump out emissions and consume energy with abandon during their production. It is time for a dramatic change.

Getting Back to Basics

Mon, 02 Apr 2012 15:35:02 GMT

He has designed, raised funds to build, and coordinated the construction of public buildings from a primary school—for which he won the Aga Khan Award for Architecture in 2004—to a library and a women’s center, both under construction.

Uphill Battle: A Seattle house defies gravity to manage stormwater.

Tue, 20 Mar 2012 16:15:41 GMT

Third High Line Phase Sets Tone for Neighboring Development

Fri, 16 Mar 2012 14:09:14 GMT

The first two phases of the High Line, the elevated park by James Corner Field Operations and Diller Scofidio + Renfro, have helped spur an architectural renaissance on Manhattan’s lower west side. But the planned third phase—which will wrap around the 26-acre Hudson Yards development—may be even more transformative. That’s not only because the northern section of the line, with its level change (the railroad tracks descend to the ground at 34th Street) and sweeping curves along the Hudson River, promises to be the most dramatic section of the park. It’s also because the Related Companies’ Hudson Yards development, which is expected to contain some 13 million square feet when complete, is at the moment largely a blank slate. That means phase three of the High Line has a chance to set the architectural tone.

Big Usage Gaps Exist Between Building Energy Models and Performance

Fri, 16 Mar 2012 13:35:36 GMT

?Green does not necessarily mean energy-efficient. "A lot of people think it does," said consulting engineer Lawrence G. Spielvogel at the ASHRAE winter conference last month. The veteran mechanical engineer then charged that the long-used energy standard for commercial building systems, ASHRAE 90.1, "provides and requires a variety of means to waste energy efficiently, which is why so many 'green' buildings have high energy use."

Industry and Feds Thrash Out Infrastructure Sustainability Bid Rating Plan

Fri, 16 Mar 2012 11:09:47 GMT

In what one official termed "our big experiment," the Obama administration convened an unusual four-hour closed session at the White House on March 9 for top industry and federal managers to figure out how to push sustainability into federal infrastructure procurement. Despite the administration's 2009 executive order directing agencies to use more clean energy and cut greenhouse gases, key issues loom on how to integrate long-term sustainability into project bidding, design and construction. Cost impacts remain a key concern.

YMCAPG&E Teen Center

Thu, 01 Mar 2012 05:00:00 GMT

If the idea of a teenager handling important construction documents makes you shake in your steel-toed boots, you are probably not alone. Yet, in an effort to turn an old, two-story Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) bill payment facility into the YMCA-PG&E Teen Center in downtown Berkeley, California, a group of teenagers did just that. "The [YMCA] board decided to create a teen task force to participate in the design process. And they asked the task force to [evaluate and] select the architects as part of their work," explains Scott Salge, project architect at Berkeley-based Noll & Tam Architects. Making sure the $4.3 million, 13,500-square-foot rehab was ecologically sensitive was also part of the brief, and led to a LEED-Platinum building with a new third floor addition. In a city known for its commitment to and activism on behalf of the environment, sustainability was a no-brainer. The opportunity to teach teens about the bidding, design, and construction processes on the way was also too good to pass up.

Gunning House

Thu, 01 Mar 2012 05:00:00 GMT

The care that architect Robert Nebolon took in designing this three-story home with the living space on top for ocean breezes and views has paid off.

Quaker Meeting House

Thu, 01 Mar 2012 05:00:00 GMT

After students at the Sidwell Friends School pass through the entry lobby of their new Quaker Meeting House, the laughter and chatter begin to die down as they set aside their backpacks and file into the space. The kids take their seats on long wooden benches arranged facing the center and silently begin the Quaker meeting for worship, a weekly practice that involves 45 minutes of quiet reflection. No visitor to the school would ever guess that the serene, light-filled worship area is actually the former school gymnasium.

Solhuset Climate-Friendly Nursery

Thu, 01 Mar 2012 05:00:00 GMT

During a mid-afternoon play period at Solhuset Nursery ("sunhouse" in English), rosy-cheeked children run energetically through the light-drenched rooms of the 13,000-square-foot facility 15 miles north of Copenhagen. This being Scandinavia in January, the days are short; in fact, the sun will set in less than two hours. Nevertheless, abundant sunlight enters deep into the building until the day terminates, showing how apt the name is, on the one hand, while warming the inhabitants, on the other.

Generation Green

Thu, 01 Mar 2012 05:00:00 GMT

Although history is clearly capable of disproving sweeping character assessments, that hasn't stopped today's commentators from chattering feverishly about Millennials.

Bottom Line Benefits of Biophilia

Thu, 01 Mar 2012 05:00:00 GMT

Biophilia, our innate need to affiliate with life and life-like processes, is a concept that has been recognized for several decades by the scientific and design communities, and intuited for hundreds of years by the population at large. Recent research in neuroscience and endocrinology clearly demonstrates that experiencing nature has significant benefits, both psychological and physiological. Bringing nature and references to nature into the built environment is the purpose of biophilic design.
