Ashley Kossakowski, Director of Energy and Sustainability at TNS, spoke with us to clarify how DR works, why it’s important, and how it will impact members of the TNS community.

[RE-BLOG] Sustainability Town Hall Highlight

In recognition of Climate Week 2022, The Tishman Environment and Design Center (TEDC) hosted an online town hall to discuss sustainability at the New School. The format of this discussion was an attempt to bring faculty, staff, and students together to exchange knowledge and voice concerns about energy consumption and waste management. As the school aims for goals such as being “net zero” by 2050, it is essential that everyone is involved in the process of not just figuring out the when, but also the how.

Tishman Center 2021 Book List

Since our last book list, the world has changed quite a bit. While we have many new challenges stemming from the pandemic and many other developments, a lot of the work that needed to be done last year has not gone away. During Earth Week 2021, we want to share some works to help understand the world we are living in and a more just world that we want to see. There are also some New School links to some of these books, showing the work that our community is doing towards justice and equity.

Tishman Center 2020 Book List

The beginning of a new decade is a perfect time for some lists of “best” films/ books/ places-to-go-to in the New Year. So, the Tishman Center decided to put together our own list of books published in the past decade that we think are essential in understanding the how’s and why’s of climate change and the systemic injustices that underline it. This list is by no means extensive but contains some of our team’s favorite titles as well as books we look forward to diving into in 2020.
