  • FXFOWLE by Steve Cutler Architect Profile Architect
    FXFOWLE by Steve Cutler Architect Profile Architect Archstone Clinton hen Douglas and Jody Durst called in architect Bruce Fowle in the mid ’90s to design Four Times WSquare, the first and one of the most important environmentally responsible skyscrapers in the U.S., he recalls, “there was no specific mention of it being green. “The Dursts are very soft-spoken and laid back,” he adds, “so they didn’t come out and say, you’ve got to make this building green.” But then, they didn’t have to, as Fowle had become well known as a green-leaning designer “a member of the cult,” he quips. “The Birkenstock cult.” And Fowle knew where the Dursts were coming from. “Douglas owns an organic farm in upstate New York,” he says, “and Jody goes out into the woods and cuts timber to heat his house in Katonah.” Tishman Construction was hired as builder, “and Dan Tishman has an organic farm up in Maine, and his wife was involved in the Audubon Society.” Fowle’s wife, Marcia, was president of the New York City Audubon Society and coauthor of The New York City Audubon Society Guide to Finding Birds in the Metropolitan Area. “It all just started to click,” says Fowle. Fowle had been an advocate of sustainable design throughout Bruce Fowle, FAIA, LEED his career, but this was a project of a new order of magnitude. “The Senior Principal largest green project in the country at that point had been about FXFOWLE Architects 60,000 square feet,” says Fowle. “This was 1.6 million square feet.” 14 NEW YORK LIVING Above left: 4 Times Square, the Conde Nast Building.

    Copyright 2006 The New York Times Company The New York Times April 16, 2006 Sunday Correction Appended Late Edition – Final SECTION: Section 2; Column 1; Arts and Leisure Desk; ARCHITECTURE; Pg. 1 LENGTH: 2210 words HEADLINE: How Green Is My Tower? BYLINE: By ROBIN POGREBIN BODY: A DECADE ago, office towers guzzled energy as fast as they could, and ''sick building syndrome'' was dismissed as a hypochondriac's all-purpose excuse. Since then, however, the rise of ''green'' architecture has encouraged architects, developers and construction managers to consider the effect their buildings have on the health of their occupants and the environment. Today green is a buzzword, a term to which all sorts of new buildings attempt to lay claim. But does that mean people who show up to work in the morning breathe more easily? New York now has two important test cases, as workers prepare to occupy the city's first officially green office towers. Seven World Trade Center, a 52-story, $7 million replacement for the building that fell at that address on 9/11, was certified by the U.S. Green Building Council last month. The 46-story Hearst Tower, on 57th Street near Eighth Avenue, is expected to follow suit after completion next month. Certification was not a simple matter. (In fact the developers turned it into a marketing strategy all its own: ''going for the gold'' in the race to be first.) In 2000, the council -- a coalition of construction-industry leaders -- established the LEED system (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design), which grades buildings in areas like energy and water consumption, indoor-air quality and use of renewable materials.
