Abstract

Artists for Humanity, is a nonprofit educational group founded in 1991 “to bridge economic, racial, and social divisions by providing at-risk youth with the keys to selfsufficiency through paid employment in arts”. Their new headquarters, called the Epicenter, embodies the dreams as well as the mission of the organization. The project called for an architect who would not only design a unique building, but was willing, as a reflection of the Artists for Humanity’s mentoring mission, to engage the students fully in every step of the design and construction process. A sophisticated sustainable design approach was employed to guide the entire planning, design and construction process. An integrated whole building design, which includes sustainability considerations as well as high efficiency envelope and equipment, should be a model for other organizations. The demonstration of a naturally cooled commercial building in an urban setting is very important milestone for sustainable construction. The whole building design process begins with site design then optimized envelope design, finishes and materials, distribution and finally equipment selection. The entire building was thus designed to minimize energy demand, then Photovoltaic electricity generation was applied to an optimized building envelope.
