ECOLOGICALLY SOUND BUILDING / CONTEMPORARY with HISTORIC LINEAGE
DISCOURSE: |
Buildings, structures are what it is all about. There are foreground buildings, and background buildings. Many “environmentally” sensitive buildings go unnoticed due to their “low profile”; and yet deserve to be recognized and set foreword as an example of good architecture. Your Mission is to find such a building and bring it foreword. This will be in the form of a Power Point Presentation. You are to select a building that has relied on natural features, elements to achieve the “comfort” zone. You will reference a minimum of three historic sources. Minimum is equal to a “C”.
For example, the entrance to an Eskimo’s igloo may be considered as a forerunner of today’s vestibule entrance. Your report would illustrate just how the igloo entrance functioned, and how it had been adapted to the particular building you chose to present.
OBJECTIVE:
The objective is to understand those structures, which incorporate “old” technology to achieve environmental sustainability. Think about “natural systems.
FORMAT:
POWER POINT: 20 MB MAXIMUM SIZE!
APPROXIMATELY 5 – 10 MINUTES DURATION:
REQUIRED:
1.) Photo and or sketch of site and structure. (NORTH)
2.) Energy flow (Light, heat & air circulation)
2.) Explanation of any conflicting issues the building addresses without major compromise.
3.) Illustrate the impact on the environment on FORM.
4.) Graphics are important / consider presentation to illustrate how things work.
5.) Credit your sources.
6.) This must be a structure you have experienced first-hand.
7.) DEMONSTRATE HOW IT COULD BE or COULD HAVE BEEN incorporated INTO YOUR THESIS or FINAL PROJECT or PROFESSIONAL WORK.
NOTE:
I am not interested in a rehash of a magazine article. I am not interested in looking at photographs from someone other than you the author. I am not interested in viewing anything other than your work, your photographs, your drawings / sketches and the like which explain just how the building works.
NOTE:
The slides with speaker notes and especoially the drawings and sketches part.
