Abstract Details

2006, MARCH, University of Cincinnati, Design, Architecture, Art and Planning : Architecture (Master of).
The world is in the midst of an environmental crisis. Global warming and mass extinction are looming threats, which research has proven are the results of human activity. Specifically, human activities that deal with the construction and subsequent operational energy requirements of our built environment contribute more to environmental degradation than any other factor; more so even than automobiles and power plants. This is a fact that the general public often overlooks, largely because the damaging effects of our built environment are either completely invisible or immediately destructive only to distant locations. This results in a false sense of security that has become the foundation of a severe disconnection between humans and the natural world, as well as an educational gap between the general public and the tangible positive alternatives that currently exist. All of this leaves Architecture with an enormous opportunity to not only physically demonstrate best practices from a design and construction standpoint, but also to act as a tangible educational tool to encourage the behavioral changes that our society needs.
