A team led by San Francisco's EHDD is making use of carbon offsets and new sustainability modeling software in renovating the institute's brutalist headquarters.

The EHDD-designed project will make the AIA's 1973 Washington, D.C. building operationally carbon-free and add a glazed brise-soleil to its exterior.

Originally conceived to counteract the Trump administration, the bill has now gained bipartisan backing.

The recently updated D.C. institution, which reopens on April 9, features three new exhibitions.
