Gregory Kiss has been working
to advance the art and technology of environmentally responsible architecture
for over 20 years. After receiving a Bachelor of Arts from Yale University
and a Master of Architecture from Columbia University, he became a founding
partner of Kiss + Cathcart Architects in 1983.
Mr. Kiss has designed and
consulted on many ground-breaking high performance building projects
in the Americas, Europe and Asia. His ongoing research into the functional
and aesthetic improvement of photovoltaics for buildings has led to
several new products and systems. He has authored a number of technical
manuals for the Department of Energy, and lectures frequently on recent
advances in solar technologies and their potential for integration into
architectural design.
Mr. Kiss’s projects
include Bushwick Inlet Park, in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, and the Bronx
River Greenway River House, both for the New York City Department
of Parks and Recreation. Other projects include solar and sustainable
housing in the Netherlands, the PV system at 4 Times Square, the
Bocas del Toro Station for the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute
in Panama, the photovoltaic glass train shed for New York City Transit’s
Stillwell Avenue Terminal in Coney Island, and a photovoltaic manufacturing
facility for Heliodomi in Greece..
In addition to his work
at Kiss + Cathcart, Greg Kiss is cofounder of Native
American Photovoltaics (NAPV), a non profit venture on the Navajo
reservation in Arizona.
