Solar Sculpting |FA_19
For more than ten years, New York City has promoted energy efficiency policies including PlaNYC and the Greener, Greater Buildings Plan that will radically reshape the education of architects toward energy performance in buildings, reduction of emissions, and the efficient use of resources.
By integrating and extending current solar technologies such as PV and solar thermal for the predominantly vertical infrastructure of the city, this research targets innovative building mass and surface strategies that are highly energy efficient, generate on-site renewable energy, and produce a new vocabulary for sustainable construction.
