I focused on high density low-income and mixed-income housing using passive solar techniques. I found it particularly challenging using the northeastern part of the US as my focus due to the temperature extremes. This was back in the 70's before a lot of the active solar technology had matured... I studied at Boston Architectural Center, and later at Sir J.J. College of Architecture in Bombay India.

I'm also in the process of looking for a place to live that won't undermine my values regarding architecture and the environment and while Kolkata is polluted and noisy, I think I found the place. I'll provide details once I have finalized the details. :-)

The NY Times once reported the jail next to today's New York City Hall Park (by architect John McComb also the Montauk lighthouse at the end of Long Island, commissioned by President Washington, which the locals told him where to put, according to geologists) was "blacker than any black hole of Calcutta" (1903) and it was where a British Major Cunningham is alleged to have or had tortured Ethan Allen and others in the American Revolution. They updated the park, to its appear more as it did in the later 19th century and outlined in the darker stones of the plaza (from around Binghamton, NY) where some of the original buildings had been, i.e., that jail, the barracks, etc. They finally just this last Tuesday after seven years opened the northern entrance to the City Hall and the "Tweed" Courthouse (finished by Mayor Fernando Wood) past the Horace Greeley statue and Joseph Pulitzer monument ("newspaper row" was once across the street) and the "First Almshouse" former cemetery, which I was involved in trying to sort out where it was for a number of firms in archaeology over a number of years prior in short spurts. One new building at the foot of Broad Street actually incorporated some of the archaeology features in view-ports through the sidewalks, etc. back in the early 1980s into the architecture.

(I'm in Taipei at the moment for the Wikimedia conference, in connection with Appropedia. Very interesting, exciting stuff.)
