Description
As we enter the twenty-first century, architects and planners face a new set of challenges. The world population has tripled in less than a century. Demand for food, water, housing, energy, products, and services has grown at an even faster pace. In response to these issues, architects, designers and planners have created new concepts for green buildings, green cites, alternative infrastructure and products. They have also introduced new laws and environmental standards. This course presents green design and planning concepts through reading, discussion, lectures, films, and projects. Students are asked to write a short paper and create three design projects. The papers examine issues such as energy, transportation, recycling, planning, and design. The projects include design of a recycled product, planning of a roof terrace or small green building, and analysis of an urban park or neighborhood. Students need a camera and drafting tools.
