Check out our latest video interview of Miami architect Chad Oppenheim, designer of the stunning green COR Tower for Miami. In this video he discusses Miami as a booming real estate and construction economy, and his take on sustainability as a factor in that growth. And of course, details on his futuristic-looking Cor Tower, which we can’t wait to see completed.

He received a bachelor of architecture from Cornell University in 1994, and is now the founding principal of Miami-based “Oppenheim Architecture and Design”. When he was starting out at 28 years old, he says “In the beginning you are just glad to get any type of work”.

Chad Oppenheim is an extraordinary architect. He takes green architecture a step further and not only concentrates on the obvious, as energy use, but explicitly considers the consequences of the material choices on the inhabitants and on the planet. Very often toxic chemicals in building materials and furnishings render architecture obsolete. What is the use of a building if it makes you sick? Green architecture should be the norm. I am looking forward seeing his prototype for the new hotel chain.
