UNEP Headquarters
Nairobi, Kenya, 1977 (project)
James Stirling, Michael Wilford & Associates
This scheme is one of several possible alternative layouts proposed for the new United Nations Environmental Programme, which was to be located on the outskirts of Nairobi. The program specified that the Center should "exemplify the environmental policies of UNEP and be responsive to local condition." The initial alternatives included low energy/low rise buildings with cooling ponds, a windmill park and a solar lake.
