Bruce S. Fowle, FAIA, LEEDA, on "Designing a Green
Lifestyle"
Senior
Principal of FX Fowle Architects and a pioneer of sustainable architecture, Mr. Fowle co-founded his firm in 1978 on the
philosophical basis that architecture must be conscious and respectful of
context and utility while enriching the human experience. Since that time, he
has guided his firm to international recognition for excellence in design and
environmental responsibility. His work has earned the firm awards including a
2001 National Honor Award for Design, the highest honor that the American
Institute of Architects bestows on a project, for the Conde Nast Building in
Times Square. Ranging from private residences to cultural/educational
institutions and large-scale multi-use complexes, Mr. Fowle's work has been
published worldwide. His current work includes the New York Times building, a
new School of Management at Syracuse University, and the expansion of the Jacob
Javits Convention Center. As a long-time proponent of environmental
conservation, Mr. Fowle helped guide the firm to a leadership position in
sustainable design. In addition to sharing his perspective on environmentally
sensitive architecture, Mr. Fowle will present his thoughts on its application
to local building challenges.
