Center for Architecture, Science and Ecology

An academic-industrial alliance is required to accelerate a more aggressively experimental process . . .

. . . that leads to development of new systems that produce a paradigm shift in the way that our future cities metabolize energy, water, and resources. The Center for Architecture Science and Ecology (CASE) is addressing the need for accelerated innovation of Built Ecologies through the development of next-generation building systems. A multi-institutional and professional research collaboration hosted by Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, CASE is pushing the boundaries of environmental performance in urban building systems on a global scale, through actual building projects as research test beds.
