How can we reduce the environmental footprint when renovating existing buildings? We’ve gathered experts from the Architecture and Engineering field to present us with their latest projects and case studies at 1014 Fifth Avenue – a building that serves as a reference point itself, as its zero-carbon renovation is currently in the making.

Join us for a talk about new challenges and new technologies in the transformation of existing building stock into a sustainable future.

Participating Offices:

  • transsolar
  • Kohler Ronan
  • David Chipperfield Architects

Moderated by Ahu Aydogan, Associate Professor at the Bernard and Anne Spitzer School of Architecture

Ahu Aydogan is an architectural designer and researcher focused on the development of a plant-based filtration system to clean indoor air and reduce the energy consumption of buildings. As Associate Professor at the Bernard and Anne Spitzer School of Architecture, she co-coordinates the technology curriculum for the Undergraduate program and teaches construction technology courses and studios with an emphasis on the integration of environmental feedback loops into design processes. Aydogan received her Ph.D. in Architectural Sciences at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Center for Architecture Science and Ecology (CASE) in 2012. Ahu has received several grants from multiple sponsors to support her research, such as the US Army MSRDC, CIRG-CUNY, and PSC-CUNY. Aydogan holds an international patent for a filtration media invention that will be used in building-integrated plant-based systems.
