Continuing Education FAQs
Active Design 1: Creating Active Cities Through Design
Can transformations in the built environment inspire people to be more physically active and make our communities healthier? According to a growing body of research, the answer is yes. New York City’s Active Design Guidelines translates this knowledge into concrete strategies for a healthier, more sustainable future. Architects, designers, planners, developers, and operations managers can adapt the Guidelines to their own projects to promote physical activity and help counteract the most pressing health epidemics of our time – obesity and its related chronic diseases. Active Design 101 is a 1-hour presentation that will provide an overview of the connections between health and design of the built environment; cover the urban design and building-scale strategies included in the Guidelines; and explore the synergies between Active Design, environmental sustainability and universal accessibility. More information, including a free electronic copy of the Active Design Guidelines, can be found at www.nyc.gov/adg.

Active Design 2: Creating Healthy Places Through Design
New York City’s award-winning Active Design Guidelines (www.nyc.gov/adg) offer a manual of strategies for creating healthier buildings, streets, and urban spaces, based on the latest academic research and best practices in the field. Active Design 201 is the second in a two-part series about how architects, designers, planners, developers, and other built environment professionals can encourage physical activity and improve access to healthy foods and beverages through design strategies. This one-hour session will cover in greater depth the Building Design chapter of the Active Design Guidelines, the new LEED Design for Health through Increased Physical Activity Innovation Credit, and several case studies of architecture projects that implemented the Guidelines’ strategies.

Historic Preservation of Modern Architecture
The postwar period, 1945 through 1980, produced buildings that are now old enough and sufficiently significant to warrant thoughtful preservation. This 75-minute course offers insight into the unique challenges of preserving postwar modern architecture, differing significantly from preserving buildings from an earlier period. Viewers will gain an understanding of the philosophical and technical complexities of preservation efforts for the sheer number of buildings to be considered.

Sustainability at the Bronx Zoo: An Owner's Perspective
This 60-minute video demonstrates how the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) has created and implemented a holistic strategy for sustainability, and how understanding a client’s perspective on the integration of project development and sustainability enhances an architect's ability to be responsive to their clients' needs. Three case studies of recent projects at the Bronx Zoo illustrate an integrated design approach to diverse projects with vastly different programs and showcase how simplicity can achieve beautiful architecture, green design and serve as a sustainability educational tool that engage over 2 million visitors: a restoration of the historic Lion House that illustrates the challenges of green design in preservation and multiple species clients; the Center for Global Conservation, a new LEED Gold building that is fully integrated into a park setting and speaks strongly to the WCS mission; and the Eco restroom. After multiple years of operation, there are lessons learned on all three that will inform owners and educate architects.

Sustainable High Density Affordable Housing
This 60-minute video explores innovative approaches to sustainable, high density, affordable housing through a case study in New York City. Fortune Society's Castle Gardens, a new 113-unit mixed-use supportive and affordable housing development in Harlem, is an innovative response to urgent social needs for affordable housing and for re-integration of the formerly incarcerated into society. Castle Gardens is the result of a partnership between private and non-profit developers, with public funding, which are key elements in the revitalization of low-income urban neighborhoods. Mark Ginsberg, FAIA, LEED AP, discusses how Fortune Society dealt with “Not In My Back Yard” (NIMBY) issues and how the integration of sustainability increased the support of the project within the community. Castle Gardens was one of the first projects approved under the new New York City Building Code and is designed to achieve LEED-NC Gold certification.
