Vallejo conference hotel
A projected design for a mixed use complex in Vallejo, California received Second Prize (highest prize awarded) in the 1994 IEA/NOVEM Architectural Ideas Competition: Photovoltaics in the Built Environment, sponsored by the International and Netherlands Energy Agencies. The design combined a horizontal building type - the convention center, with a PV-integrated roof - with a vertical hotel tower featuring a PV curtain wall. The two elements were tied together with solar site structures which function as dropoff awnings and parking shade structures.
