Timeline

1960

David Randall Hertz (born October 6, 1960) is an American architect, inventor and educator.

He is known for his work in sustainable architecture and as an early innovator in the development of recycled building materials.

David Randall Hertz was born on October 6, 1960, in Daly City, California, to parents Joanne and Robert Hertz.

The family moved to Los Angeles when Hertz was 6 months old and he grew up Venice and Malibu.

Hertz got his start in architecture at a young age.

In high school he was introduced to the building's designer, famed Los Angeles architect John Lautner.

Hertz apprenticed under Lautner for four years.

1980

After receiving a degree from the Southern California Institute of Architecture in 1980, Hertz went on to work in the office of Frank Gehry before founding his firm, Syndesis, in 1983.

That year, Hertz developed Syndecrete, a form of concrete that incorporates post-consumer and industrial waste, such as polypropylene carpet fibers and fly ash.

It is lighter than traditional concrete and may have other waste products such as wood, crushed glass, or plastic chips added for decoration.

1995

In 1995 MoMA included Syndecrete in the "Mutant Materials in Contemporary Design" exhibit.

2003

Hertz's home residence in Venice was built in two phases and completed in 2003.

It consists of four structures connected by enclosed bridges, inspired by Balinese architecture.

Hertz designed the building as a testbed for many environmentally conscious building ideas.

The house has rooftop solar heating panels for water, radiant heating, sustainable woods used throughout, and extensive use of his custom concrete, Syndecrete.

Additionally, Hertz designed the large Syndecrete walls to work as a solar sink, absorbing the sun's heat during the day and slowly releasing it at night.

The house has been featured in multiple commercials and TV shows, most prominently in the Californication (TV series).

2004

In 2004, Hertz became Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certified.
