David wins the National Design Award
We are thrilled to announce that Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum, awarded the 2022 National Design Award to David Hertz’s WEDEW for Climate Action! The Climate Action Award recognizes a design project for its significant contributions to addressing the urgency of the global climate crisis.
"Having worked for over 40 years as an Architect to lessen the impacts on the natural environment from that of the built environment, I am honored to be a recipient of such a prestigious award, especially for Climate Action for the WEDEW. I designed the WEDEW as a community-based climate resilience hub, engineered to provide essential resources for distributed renewable energy and point of use atmospheric water and cooling solutions for communities most affected by climate change.” - David Hertz
