RAVEN A+U specializes in sustainable and resilient urban design. We work to expand the agency of design by embedding climate science in design
practice. Examples include a recent
urban design climate plan in Durban, South Africa; the Masdar carbon-neutral development
in Abu Dhabi; eco-town prototypes in the Kolkata region, India; eco-planning a
provincial capital in Vietnam; smart growth planning in the New York region; LEED
building design in NYC; and the RPA Downtown Brooklyn Plan. We have worked in China, Thailand, Korea, The
Philippines, Sudan, Qatar, France and throughout the United States. We contribute to developing sustainable-resilient
guidelines and metrics, including STAR Communities, the Global EcoDistrict
Protocol, and McKinsey’s Green Districts.

Research Grants:
National Science Foundation. The Sustainable Urbanisation Global Initiative (SUGI-Belmont-InSource): Co-PI for 3 Years. Raven leads the InSource (a European-American urban research consortium) Case Study in NYC in collaboration with local experts from the Urban Land Institute, the American Institute of Architects New York Chapter (AIANY) in coordination with key community stakeholder groups on Net-Zero Carbon and resilient district in NYC. The InSource consortium is developing a 3-D data modeling tool to enhance sustainability of the food/energy/water (FEW) nexus in urban environments.
National Science Foundation. City-as-Lab INFEWS/T3 RCN: Co-PI for 5 Years. A Research Coordination Network for the Study of the Food, Energy, and Water Nexus for Sustainable and Resilient Urban Development. Lead researcher to working group on visioning, engaging stakeholder, advising graduate students on field test and validating the proposed model and framework.
National Science Foundation. National Workshop on Architectural Faculty in Environmental Sustainability Research (WAFES): Co-PI, WAFES investigator/session leader. The intent is to engage Architectural researchers who are pursuing, environmental sustainability research related to the built environment; to build architecture faculty capacity to successfully pursue NSF proposals.
