Andrew Heid, Founder and Principal Architect of NO Architecture in New York, was recently invited by the University of Chinese Hong Kong to give a lecture on passive energy-efficient buildings.
Saying that Andrew is a new face in the field of green building doesn't live up to his expectations. He is an interloper in the old circle, trying to redefine the context of green architecture that we are talking about—the green buildings of architects and engineers; those stripped of the kernel, and surface attachments; He urgently needs to start a new conversation about bringing energy-efficient buildings back to their long-standing architectural traditions.
