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 solar and sustainable housing in the Netherlands, the PV system
at 4 Times Square, and 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.
