Peter Busby

"[14] Weder points to the example of One Wall Centre Project, a 48-story tower which ignited conflicts between his client and the City of Vancouver, resulting in a dual toned glass envelope.

[20] He orchestrates the ideal building nested in a city that gives back energy rather than consuming; declaring peace with nature contributing to social responsibility.

[21] Busby employs this logic into his personal life, manifested through his off-grid Vancouver cabin powered by photo-voltaic cells, eight vertical axis wind turbines and a rainwater collection system to water the gardens.

[25] Busby's contributions to the EBCO Aerospace office in Delta, BC takes awareness of its proximity to transportation hubs, rail or waterways, labour pool, and lower price land to maximize economy.

Currently at Perkins and Will, he has focused on the Regenerative Design approach where each operation in a building's construction is measured by its positive impact on human and natural systems.

[26] Busby's architectural career is primarily focused on sustainability to integrate building systems to foster user experience and improve the environment which it resides.

[2] His approach to architecture considers affordability, amenities, transportation, and social issues to be worked into given project briefs, backed by scientific and economic considerations that provide a business case for sustainability.

Through practicing and actively researching and educating along with public advocacy, Busby not only preaches but lives the life of sustainable design, through the encouragement of walking, mixed use developments around transit nodes, to reduce carbon footprint.

This net positive research institution encourages interdisciplinary collaboration to operate beyond the scale of the building but also in relation to their larger contexts.
