THE GREENEST COMMERCIAL BUILDING IN THE WORLD

The goal of the Bullitt Center is to drive change in the marketplace faster and further by showing what’s possible today. The era of harm reduction, half steps, and lesser evils is behind us. As a society, we need to be bold in ways that were once unimaginable.

CASE STUDY: LIVING PROOF

on Thu, Aug 06, 2015 at 6:48 PM

Written by Rob Peña, an Associate Professor in the Department of Architecture at the University of Washington and member of the Bullitt Center design team, Living Proof: The Bullitt Center encapsulates the story of the origins, the design, and the performance of the project.

In detail, Peña covers all aspects of the building to provides insights borne from his deep involvement throughout its development and as a tenant.

This case study, which was produced by the University of Washington’s Center for Integrated Design with support from the Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance, BetterBricks initiative, is a definitive resource for anyone interested in what it took to get the Bullitt Center built and how to apply those lessons to other projects.

Download the case study here.

Thank you, Kirk. I heard about the Bullitt Center years ago when it was being proposed by Denis Hayes, but I haven’t heard much about it recently.

 

I really appreciate your bringing this to our attention.
