Vanderbeek also served as Stony
Point Town Engineer and was project manager and engineer
in the development of sewer systems
in western Ramapo, overseeing
environmental impact study, survey and
design.
The guidelines are voluntary at this
point, but U.S. wind developers interested
in a smoother ride through various permitting processes and the blessing of
environmental groups — several were consulted extensively
in drawing up the new guidelines — are doing their best to make their
designs and implementations comply.
In my
point of view, there is nothing wrong with the new structures and new architectural
design as long as they observe the Desa, Kala, Patra (place, time and circumstance) concept which gives a strong emphasis on
environmental conscious architecture.
Referring to the LEED (for Leadership
in Energy and
Environmental Design) rating system for buildings, which awards
points for energy - saving features but has been criticized because some of these features (like bike racks) are superficial add - ons, Gehry said: «A lot of LEED is given for bogus stuff.»
