KPF was named as one of the seven firms “at the forefront of sustainable architectural practice” in a piece that highlighted the innovative TCC DAKA Renewable Resource Recycling Center.
KPF’s “focus on context shapes its approach to sustainable architecture, connecting building performance with the wider question of how large-scale development can contribute to the life of a city,” writes Architizer in a feature on the seven architecture firms leading sustainable practice.
TCC DAKA RRRC in Xiulin Township, Taiwan, exemplifies this approach, demonstrating how industrial infrastructure can contribute to both environmental sustainability and community engagement. Designed as a living laboratory, the facility integrates resource recovery, education, and public space, opening an industrial site to the surrounding community while exploring innovative approaches to material reuse and low-carbon construction.
Through its integration of environmental strategies, material research, and public programming, the project reflects KPF’s commitment to developing practical, project-specific solutions that reduce environmental impact and create lasting value for people and the planet.
