ECOLOGICALLY SOUNDBUILDING / CONTEMPORARY with HISTORIC LINE

ECOLOGICALLY SOUNDBUILDING / CONTEMPORARY with HISTORIC LINEAGE DISCOURSE:Buildings, structures are what it is all about. There areforeground buildings, and background buildings. Many “environmentally”sensitive buildings go unnoticed due to their “low profile”; and yet deserve tobe recognized and set foreword as an example of good architecture. Your Missionis to find such a building and bring it foreword. This will be in the form of aPower Point Presentation. You are to select a building that has relied onnatural features, elements to achieve the “comfort” zone. You will reference aminimum of three historic sources. Minimum is equal to a “C”. For example, the entrance to an Eskimo’s igloo may beconsidered as a forerunner of today’s vestibule entrance. Your report would illustrate just how the igloo entrancefunctioned, and how it had been adapted to the particular building you chose topresent.  OBJECTIVE: The objective is to understand  thosestructures, which incorporate “old” technology to achieve environmental sustainability.Think about “natural systems. FORMAT:POWER POINT: 20 MB MAXIMUM SIZE!APPROXIMATELY5 – 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 buildingaddresses without major compromise.3.) Illustrate the impact on the environment on FORM.4.) Graphics are important / consider presentation toillustrate how things work.5.) Credit your sources. 6.) This must be a structure you have experiencedfirst-hand. This may NOT be your ROAD TRIP subject. 7.) DEMONSTRATEHOW IT COULD BE or COULD HAVE BEEN incorporated INTO YOUR THESIS or FINALPROJECT or PROFESSIONAL WORK.NOTE:I am not interested in a rehash ofa magazine article. I am not interested in looking at photographs from someoneother than you the author. I am not interested in viewing anything other thanyour work, your photographs, your drawings / sketches and the like whichexplain just how the building works.
