Building Sustainability at Ground Zero: A Talk with Bruce FowleBruce Fowle believes design should be socially and environmentally responsible.
As co-founder and senior principal of Fox & Fowle Architects, he has been instrumental in the construction of numerous sustainable structures, including the Condé Nast Building at 4 Times Square--the first green skyscraper in the U.S. Along with his firm, which is based in Manhattan, he developed the first green guidelines for residential high-rises (standards that covered such issues as improving indoor air quality, maximizing energy efficiency, and reducing environmental impact throughout all phases of site planning, construction, and maintenance) and is currently creating sustainability programs for several regional transportation systems and institutions.
Fowle has held leadership positions at several industry organizations, including at the AIA - New York chapter. Currently, he serves on the executive board of New York New Visions (NYNV), a coalition of design professionals that advises the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation (LMDC) on post-9/11 redevelopment efforts.
MetropolisMag editor Julie Taraska spoke with Fowle about Ground Zero's environmental opportunities: the chance to readdress the site's density, to explore renewable power sources, and to utilize green roofs.
