R, Anthony Fieldman Architect in New York City, United States

The R. Anthony Fieldman Architect designed by Perkins+Will is located in New York City, United States. A building should reveal something exceptional about a specific place, culture or programme; its form should result from an open investigation into that particular context, and its architects should embrace the unexpected discoveries that result from that process.

Once it is built, the phenomena that the architects set out to celebrate should be made legible to a building’s inhabitants. Three examples: The Kuwait University College of Education mitigates the world’s hottest urban climate with a self-shading curtain wall whose geometry is derived by the sun’s path to shield every window, thereby eliminating 80% of the building’s solar heat gain; reducing glare inside the building, and eliminating the need for artificial day-lighting.
