The Center for Architecture is located in the neighborhood of Greenwich Village at 536 LaGuardia Place, between West 3rd Street and Bleecker Street in Manhattan, New York City. In recent years, the center, operated by the New York Chapter of the American Institute of Architects, has become an increasingly important cultural institution through its revolving exhibits on architecture, urban planning, urban design, and environmental planning. The center also offers an extensive calendar of seminars, public feedback forums, project unveilings, and educational programs, as well as events and changing exhibitions.
The Center for Architecture opened to the public in October 2003.
In the summer of 2003, the geothermal system for the Center for Architecture was installed. For three weeks, construction crews drilled two wells, each 1,260 feet (~ 384m) deep beneath the sidewalk. After drilling through layers or gravel, pea stone, overburden soil and bedrock, the wells were connected to make a closed loop system. The geothermal system consists of 6-inch-diameter (150 mm) pipes, heat exchangers and pumps for groundwater to flow through. The geothermal system cools the Center for Architecture during warm weather and heats it during the cold months by circulating water through heat exchangers. The system is based on the fact that the earth’s temperature at a thousand feet below Manhattan is a constant 52 °F (11 °C). The heat exchangers use the temperature of the water to cool (or heat as demand requires) the air released into the 12,000-square-foot (1,100 m2) facility through air ducts. Air is blown over the chilled or heated water before traveling into the galleries and office spaces.
This is a list of interior design schools at colleges and universities in the world.

Please join us Weds (08 Feb, 6p, Winslow 1140) as we welcome a special guest speaker, Josh Draper from RPI's Center for Architecture Science and Ecology (CASE). Special thanks to Paulo Pinheiro for arranging with Josh to give this talk!
Speakers: Bess Krietemeyer, Ph.D., Assistant Professor, Syracuse School of Architecture, Interactive Simulations for High-Performance Building Design Brandon Andow, Ph.D. Candidate, RPI Center for Architecture Science and Ecology (CASE), Materials Research and Simulation of Graphene Oxide Thin-Films for Next-generation Multi-functional Dynamic Façades Amber Bartosh, R.A., LEED AP BD+C, Assistant Professor, Syracuse School of Architecture, Mediated Environments: Integrated and Immersive Media in Architecture Design, Representation, and Constructed Prototypes
Dr. Maureen Connelly gives a quick overview of three exciting student projects currently happening at BCIT’s Centre for Architectural Ecology: Project 1: acoustical performance of window fixtures. We are preparing a new wall insert and window specimen for sound testing. This is Joyce's Mater of Engineering project with support from industry including windows manufacturer (EuroLine Windows), shutters and other window inserts companies. We also got lots of help from great friends, including student and staff from the Carpentry department. Project 2: intensity probe testing for noise reduction of existing versus new windows. Neha is doing this as part of an investigation involving a whole-building window retrofit at our lovely shingles building (NE3, Burnaby campus). Project 3: acousti...
Architect and PhD Student Mae-Ling Lokko from Center for Architecture, Science and Ecology (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute) and students built an 'Up-cycling Pavilion' at Chalewote Street art festival at James Town in Accra to demonstrate how agriculture waste such as coconut husks in this case can be up-cycled into affordable building materials. Her company AMBIS Technologies Inc. provides high end acoustic panels using these panels and will soon be available for the Ghanaian market
The greenest buildings are the ones that are already built. But how does a community balance the historic fabric of vernacular architecture with greener buildings? Can't we have both? A discussion with: Maria Casarella, AIA, Cunningham | Quill Architects; Anna Dyson, director, Center for Architecture Science & Ecology, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute & Skidmore, Owings and Merrill; Martin Moeller, senior vice president, National Building Museum (moderator), Brendan Owens, Vice President LEED Technical Development, U.S. Green Building Council; Eleni Reed, Chief Greening Officer, Public Buildings Service, U.S. General Services Administration
If you want to learn how architecture and ecology can work together and help save money and the environment then you should visit Arcosanti in Mayer, Arizona.
Integrated Concentrating Solar Facade Systems presented by Anna Dyson at TEDxQuestSchool on Monday November 21st, 2011. "The Integrated Concentrating (IC) Solar Facade System is a building integrated photovoltaic system that takes a dramatically different approach to providing electrical power, thermal energy, enhanced day lighting, and reduced solar gain. It goes beyond what existing building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) or concentrating PV technologies to can provide, and is applicable to both retrofits and new construction. The system is architecturally integrated into the facades and roof atria of buildings yet still provides maximum outside views and diffuse daylight for the building users." Anna Dyson teaches design, technology, and theory at the School of Architecture at Renssel...

This is a glimpse of what may be the future of urban living. It's called NOAH, a fully sustainable floating habitat designed to support thousands of people.

Four hundred miles west of Moscow is St. Petersburg, Russia. A striking city resting on the banks of the Neva River, St. Petersburg has long been a draw for lovers of architecture, as St. Petersburg tours often begin with the city's legendary structures. Enter a world of towering cathedrals, palaces, and gardens, many of them set down by the order of Peter the Great in the 18th century. As the decades passed, later members of Russian royalty added to the city's opulence by constructing additional marvels. Walk through the Palace Square, located in the heart of St. Petersburg and home of the Winter Palace, the sprawling home of Catherine the Great. Next, pay a visit to St. Isaac's Cathedral and its gold-plated dome, which glitters in the sunshine. If you walk to the top of its dome, you wi...

Come join us for a day trip from Hong Kong (香港) as we visit Macau covering the best things to do in one day in our Macau Travel Guide (澳門 - 澳门). We started off our day waking up early in Hong Kong to get to the ferry terminal to take a TurboJET ferry to Macao. *Important* remember to take your passport as you're crossing one special administration region in China to another (Hong Kong to Macau) and you'll need to go through immigration on both sides (it doesn't take long). After arriving we took free transportation (provided by the casinos and hotels) to check out the Venetian Casino and Parisian Hotel. Then we were off to Taipa to mostly eat Macau street food and enjoy the old colonial architecture. We then made our way to Senado Square, the ruins of St. Paul's and Forte Monte while m...
Recorded on November 14th, 2016 at the New York Public Library For more events by LIVE from the NYPL visit: http://www.nypl.org/events/live-nypl It's hard to imagine a New York different from the one we know, but what would the city have been like if the ideas of some of the greatest architectural dreamers had made it beyond the drawing boards and into built form? The new book Never Built New York paints the picture of an alternative New York, with renderings, sketches, models, and stories of proposals for the city that never came to be. Internationally acclaimed architects Daniel Libeskind. Steven Holl, and Elizabeth Diller come together with author Sam Lubell to envision this alternate city. DANIEL LIBESKIND established his architectural studio in Berlin, Germany, in 1989 after winni...
