Distinguished Practice Award

Motivated by the urgency of the climate crisis, Jonathan Feldman, AIA, believes that architects have an obligation to devote their expertise to demonstrating the significant role the built environment plays in repairing our threatened ecosystems. His designs immerse buildings and their occupants in nature, and advance the regenerative strategies that aim to repair our threated ecosystem. A signatory of the AIA 2030 Challenge since 2016, Feldman Architecture was one of 31 signatories, nationally, reporting 80% pEUI reduction target across their entire portfolio in 2023. The firm also established an embodied carbon budget for each new project (100 metric tons) which was implemented across all new projects at the end of 2022.
