HAPPY HOLIDAYS

Happy Holidays from hanrahanMeyers architects.  2009 has marked a very successful year for hMa.  In 2009 hMa had more projects in construction than we've ever had in one year.  hMa broke ground on the new Buddhist Training Center in Claverack, New York in November.  The Won Buddhist Training Center is a remarkable project where hMa designed five buildings, including residential halls, a Meditation Hall, and a 200-acre landscaped campus.  Battery Park City Community Center is in construction, and scheduled to be complete in 2011 with a Platinum LEED rating, the highest Green rating available. Infinity Chapel, featured above, is a 10,000 square foot chapel scheduled for completion in February 2010. We hope to see you at the opening for the Infinity Chapel.  Best wishes from hMa for 2010!

For many religious groups, caring for the environment is not an option but a spiritual imperative. For such congregations, green design goes beyond building materials and systems to address the relationship of the building to the site and of the congregants to nature. The relationship of man to nature and nature to spirituality has dramatically changed in this era of environmental awareness.

The program God Comes to Earth explores ways in which architects can design places of prayer that acknowledge this paradigm shift. Sustainability will be a key factor.

Panelists

- Michael J. Crosbie, Ph.D., AIA, Editor of Faith & Form
- Rabbi Lea Cohen, Congregation B’Nai Chaim, Georgetown, CT
- Alexander Gorlin, FAIA, Alexander Gorlin Architects
