The Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies in Millbrook, New York by Becker + Becker

Thursday, May 4th, 2023

Article source: Becker + Becker

This project consists of an extensive renovation and addition to the internationally renowned environmental institute’s headquarters.  The project re-envisions and updates the forward-thinking aspirations of the visionary 1978 design by Malcolm Wells, a founder of the green building movement.  Over the 42 years since this innovative project was lauded widely in the architectural and general press as a trailblazing exemplar of sustainable design, its solar thermal roof and geothermal systems failed and were lost to renovations that subverted the original intention for the building to embody the Cary’s environmental values.

Article source: Form 4 Architecture

The dynamic architecture of the Innovation Curve at Stanford Research Park celebrates the creative process of technology, which is fundamental to the international success of Silicon Valley. The peaks and valleys of sweeping metal curves serve as architectural metaphors for the highs and lows of exploratory research and development. Designed by Form4 Architecture of San Francisco, the new development comprises four buildings on the edge of Stanford Research Park in Palo Alto. The LEED Platinum-certified project contributes to the site’s emergence as an uplifting campus for tenants involved with computer gaming, translation software, and digital inventions.

Roscoff Biological Station in France by WIP ARCHITECTURE

Friday, December 24th, 2021

Article source: WIP ARCHITECTURE

Resting by the sea in classified site, opposite of the Île-de-Batz, the fishpond is a structure that has two aspects. A public face, on the beach, massive and inherent to its function (to retain water) and a lighter discreet side, which is only revealed to researchers at the Roscoff Biological Station.

The work forms with its environment a coherent and respectful architecture. It magnifies the exceptional character of the site and integrates with it through a silent and calm design.

Tuesday, April 14th, 2020

Article source: Nortesur Architects

Norte Sur Architects presents a vibrant bioclimatic structure that is home to the ACIB (Costa Rican Biomedical Research Agency), a non-profit organization dedicated to biomedical research and genomic sequencing for cancer prevention and treatment. It is located in the province of Guanacaste, Costa Rica and its design has been carried out under high standards of sustainability and carbon footprint reduction.

In order to create a resilient structure, adaptable to the dry tropical climate of the area, Norte Sur Architects was set out to rethink and reinvent the rigid and monotonous image associated with the highly controlled conditions required by a biomedical laboratory. Located within a few miles from the beautiful beaches of the Costa Rica’s Pacific coast, the final result is a colorful and vibrant set consisting of a combination of lightweight construction systems that allow the building to respond to the elements with a low carbon footprint.
