Worlds Collide: Mary Tchamkina Interviews Greg Kiss for GreenHomeNYC
Thursday, March 18th, 2010
If you came to a Solar One event last summer, or if you’ve attended any of our Green From the Inside Out workshops, you may know, and have most likely seen, NYSERDA E$C Program Assistant Mary Tchamkina. But did you know that she’s a wonderful designer and aspiring architect? It’s true! And now she can add another talent to her resume: journalism. When she’s not working at Solar One or preparing grad school applications, Mary finds time to work as a staff volunteer for GreenHome NYC, a community-oriented, volunteer-run organization that promotes green building practices in our city. And it just so happens that they recently published an interview she did with Greg Kiss of Kiss+Cathcart Architects, the very same firm that designed the Solar 1 building and are designing Solar 2!
You can read the interview here.
