Casey Mack has just completed the Passive House consultant training program held this summer in Boston.

Casey Mack has been awarded a NYSCA grant supporting his book project Digested Metabolism: Artificial Land in Japan, 1954-2202. The book follows the Japanese evolution of Le Corbusier's idea of "artificial land," a dynamic merger of infrastructure and architecture that the Metabolists offered as a compelling solution for a country whose real land is economically and seismically challenged. Investigated through thirteen built projects by the Metabolists and an extensive network of Japanese architects who have developed the concept into the present, the research expands ways of thinking about ecological design. Initial support for the project has come from the Graham Foundation.
