It’s easy to talk about includes highlights of some of CRTKL’s biggest innovations, best projects automating processes and raising the bar on energy, water and cost and most important pieces of research over the past year. savings, but it’s quite another thing to actually do it across the board. As a practice, we work on so many different scales, in so many different sectors with so many different clients that it’s difficult to talk about sustainable design and resiliency without being overly general. In this update, we went directly to a few of CRTKL’s most creative design minds to get their take on the big questions of planet-wide resiliency and urbanistic approaches to sustainability, medium-sized questions of how to make architecture more sustainable, and even small-scale, but no less important, questions of making interiors that are better for the earth and their occupants. CRTKL is planning a few major sustainability announcements in 2017, including a new DASH tool, which is a repository of project performance Looking Ahead metrics that allows us to compare our work against both internal and external benchmarks, our first net zero shopping center and a design for Finally, what can we say about where green design is headed? Instead of one of the most sustainable office towers in Europe coming online. While just looking inward to our own practice, we’ve looked across the industry we wish we could share all the details now, suffice it to say that 2017 is to see how values are changing among architects and our clients. Today’s poised to be a very green year indeed for our practice. most innovative projects are a jumping-off point for the cutting-edge ideas of the future, and in that same vein, our 2016 sustainability update Sustainability Update 2016 | The Update 6 Go to Contents Page The Big, Medium & Small Questions of Sustainability 7 The Big Question So, how do architects and planners take an urbanistic approach to sustainability? How can we, as an industry, push to create truly The Big Question: sustainable cities? Well, you have to start with an urban mindset. “Urbanism is inherently a sustainable proposition,” says CallisonRTKL What does a truly Vice President Doug McCoach, who leads the planning and urban design studio in New York City. “We continue to see migration to urban areas, sustainable city which is a good thing if you’re comparing it to suburban or even ex-urban sprawl.

  • Seattle 2030: the Post-Crisis Tower
    Architecture/Design The Tall Building Strategically Reconsidered— Seattle 2030: The Post-Crisis Tower Abstract The current perception of a post-COVID world is highly divisive and despairing. The “death of the tall building” is touted by prognosticators as a fait accompli. The concept of the city as a microcosm of commerce, urban living, culture, and civic uses has been put into severe doubt and paranoia. Density, mass transit and assembly uses are suddenly deemed as anathema to “normal” lifestyles, and the Ro Shroff flight to the suburbs is touted as the new mantra. Author This paper is an exploration of what a post-crisis vertical vision would reflect in Ro Shroff, AIA, Partner and Senior Vice President urban America, responding to changing norms of the workplace, urban living, 3MIX 1111 Changshou Road leisure, and transit.
