SuperGreen: Lecture by Christoph Ingenhoven
German architecture firm ingenhoven architects, founded in 1985, is one of the world’s leading architecture firms in sustainable design. Christoph Ingenhoven, principal of ingenhoven architects, presents an overview of his company’s focus on green design: supergreen buildings for the future. The company’s philosophy holds that contemporary architecture should respond positively to the natural and built environment. Ingenhoven architects lays claim to designing one of the world’s first high-rise buildings with an ecological focus, the headquarters of RWE (early 1990s), in which they utilized innovative double façade technology. Additional low-energy projects in ingenhoven’s portfolio include Lufthansa Aviation Center at Frankfurt Airport (it requires only one-third of the energy of a conventional office building); the main train station in Stuttgart, (it will be carbon-free and zero energy, and has been awarded with the Global Holcim Award Gold for its sustainable design), and Sydney, Australia’s skyscraper 1 Bligh (recipient of Australia’s World Leadership 6 Star rating).

Testimonials
“The DC Jazz Jam has provided a tremendous boost to DC’s indigenous jazz scene. [The] cadre of fine musicians at Dahlak have managed to create a warm, inviting, encouraging, and creative environment at their weekly jam sessions, which is no small accomplishment. Experienced professionals, like myself, attend the jam to relax, stretch out musically, and network with other players. But at the same time, the DC Jazz Jam has proved to be the perfect setting for younger talent to come out, and have some of their first experiences playing in front of an audience and to learn their craft in the laboratory of a nurturing jam session. In this manner, the DC Jazz Jam is but the latest chapter in Washington’s long history with America’s classical music, jazz.”
