Here is the press release that is causing such a stir
in the world press
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Healthy buildings go beyond green
Top U.S. green developer to showcase designs
for world's first "Vedic green" office building
One of America's top commercial green developers,
Jeffrey Abramson of the Tower Companies in Washington, D.C., will
present to architects and developers in the nation's capital plans for
the world's largest Vedic green office building - Tower II - to be
constructed in Rockville, Maryland.
Abramson will address a national conference on Vedic
architecture at the National Building Museum in Washington, D.C. on
Monday, June 13, 6:30 p.m. Abramson is a former trustee of the National
Building Museum.
The 200,000 sq. ft., $72 million world-class office
building will incorporate the most advanced green environmental
technologies along with the health-promoting design principles of
ancient Vedic architecture in harmony with natural law. Construction is
scheduled to begin Winter 2005.
Abramson said he was forced to go beyond green to
fulfill his quest to provide clients with the healthiest possible work
environments that are conducive to success. "We realized there is more
to a healthy workspace than green building materials," Abramson said.
"We realized that the architecture of the workspace drives function,
performance, and success."
To find the right design, Abramson turned to the world's
oldest system of architecture, Vedic architecture. This was not a
difficult decision. Abramson has been enjoying the health benefits of
living in a Vedic home in Potomac, Maryland, for eight years.
Abramson acknowledges that as recently as a few years
ago, Vedic architecture would hardly be mainstream in business. But
times have changed. "Corporate philosophies are changing to meet
people's needs - which is changing workspaces. In fact, the best
corporations are those that set themselves apart by building and
exploring better and healthier work environments - to reduce the stress
and pressures of life and help people stay healthy and be successful"
Abramson says.
Abramson says when he talks to business people about
Vedic architecture “they are open, they get it. People intuitively know
that buildings affect us deeply-and the best buildings are those that
make us feel good and at their height, elevate the spirit.”
Vedic architecture was brought to the West by Maharishi
Mahesh Yogi, who introduced the Transcendental Meditation® program
nearly 50 years ago and Ayurvedic preventive medicine 20 years ago.
Tower II is designed by architects Kishimoto, Gordon, Dalaya of McLean,
Virginia, in collaboration with Maharishi Global Construction of
Fairfield, Iowa.
