Victoria Meyers architect, founding partner of hanrahan Meyers architects, presents Robots, Energy and Weather, and explains how concepts from robotics, biomorphic designs that incorporate energy, and weather sensitive design has impacted her practice with Thomas Hanrahan. Projects presented include DWi-P, Digital Water i-Pavilion, hMa's first digitally interactive buiding, deisgned with an electrostatic film in the building's 600-foot-long facade, where the public can 'play' composer Michael J. Schumacher's composition: WaTER. DWi-P is in Battery Park City, across from the World Trade Center Memorial site. hMa are also the Master Plan architects for Battery Park City's North Neighborhood.
