Center for Architecture Science and Ecology

CASE was one of dozens of groups tabling at the Harbor Climate Collaborative NYC Climate Tech Showcase to exhibit transformative climate technologies, products and services. Representing CASE were graduates Nathanael Musera, M.S. Built Ecologies and Will Pepi PhD who showcased their ventures MoRF Material and BIOM respectively. Research at CASE continues to spearhead the critical environmental and humanitarian issues of our time and translate it through entrepreneurship. The NYC Climate Tech Showcase brought together a community of environmental justice focused groups who are all complementing each other’s efforts to combat climate change in New York City. CASE is proud to stand alongside such a wide pool of talent and dedication to a common mission. Read the full article on our website below! https://lnkd.in/ecZ9GmHb

CASE Faculty & RPI Architecture are proud to have worked with the City of Albany, Van Alen Institute and local community partners to open Albany Hive, a Community-Led Redesign project in the West Hill neighborhood. On October, 12th we attended a ribbon cutting ceremony held by The City of Albany, Van Alen Institute, and Albany community leaders. CASE faculty member, Fleet Hower, contributed to the creation of this public park and worked directly with our partners at the Van Alen Institute (VAI) and other local organizations to transform the derelict alleyway in the West Hill neighborhood of Albany into an active community space. CASE & RPI Architecture’s contribution to this project included the creation of a stewardship and maintenance report that made recommendations for the ongoing operations at the park upon its opening. We are always excited to participate in community engagement projects with our amazing partners, as a way to provide technical expertise to inform and sometimes validate research by testing it in a project environment. We look forward to future projects and community initiatives that allow us to maximize to our impact on urban spaces.

Work from Center for Architecture Science and Ecology Built Ecologies Ph.D. candidate, Elena Petruzzi, on Metabolizing Heat, Thermally Tuned 3D Printed Envelopes. The research objective is to develop a design tool that allows architects to design the distribution of two distinct materials (insulation and an organic PCM) within a 3D printed building envelope based on a desired thermal performance.   At CASE, you can study how design and architecture influence the built environment and live in NYC where you can focus your research to equitably impact sustainability through science, engineering, and entrepreneurship.   Learn more on the programs available at https://www.case.rpi.edu AND -- Merit scholarships valued at 40% of the annual tuition are available to eligible admitted applicants.
