2000's Flashcards
Concerns about climate change and global warming continued to grow with the increase of science pointing towards greenhouse gas accumulations from human related activity.
SUSTAINABLE PLURALISM
For architecture and planning the span of scales, were large enough to produce distinct layers that required differing sustainable approaches.
POLY-SCALER SUSTAINABILITY
Susan Owens described sustainable strategies operating at varying scales of development with varying spatial characteristics of structural variables.
POLY-SCALER SUSTAINABILITY
This was to suggest that differences in the spatial characteristics and structures of a place could contribute to a wide variation in energy efficiency.
POLY-SCALER SUSTAINABILITY
increasing efficiency with transportation of natural resources in rail, shipping and air transport. ◦ Reduce gaps between among relationships of labor, production and consumer markets
GLOBAL SCALE
providing waste management, recycling, varying transportation systems, agriculture, biodiversity, and habitat conservation
REGIONAL SCALE
consideration of size, shape, density, land mix use, spatial structure, infrastructure systems, green space and recycling
SETTLEMENT SCALE
density of built form, mixes of use, infrastructure architecture, daylighting, public transportation, access to green spaces, and pedestrian places.
URBAN DESIGN SCALE
density, pedestrian orientation, schools and activities for children, integrated agriculture and community gardens, and recycling.
NEIGHBORHOOD SCALE
site planning, landscape and open space design, land use mix, and pedestrian movement
CLUSTER SCALE
siting, orientation, climate responsive form, passive solar heating, natural ventilation, conservation, reuse, retrofits, use of healthy and non toxic building materials.
BUILDING SCALE
aesthetic consideration, efficiency, and intelligent adaptive control system
SYSTEM SCALE
involving manufacturing, materials, and methods of non toxic building materials, energy efficient
PRODUCTS SCALE
was one of the strategies of sustainability applicable across many of the sustainable scales. This was possible partly because of the connection between sustainability and biology. Inspired through biology, developed as an interpretation of the landscape through science and the art of exemplifying natures forms and processes in architecture and urban design.
Biometrics
contained sustainable principles and initiating inspirations, such as superefficient structures, high strength biodegradable composites, self-cleaning surfaces, low energy and waste systems, and water retention methods according to Michael Pawlyn.
Biomimicry
Began in 2005, which was designed by Tate Synder Kimsy Architects and Lucchesi Galati Architects. It was intended to demonstrate building and living in the desert on a 73 hectare site built around the original water source for Las Vegas
Las Vegas Preserve Springs
Between place context supported a new kind of architecture, one that had systematic fabric oriented qualities. Site for infrastructure architecture tended to be situated circumferentially around dense urban centres and between defined suburban residential districts. These environments were typically linear, complex, often chaotic, and spatially fragmented with multiple land uses.
INFRASTRUCTURE ARCHITECTURE
is both the study of cities and the practices to build them urbanism that focus on promoting their long term viability by reducing consumption, waste and harmful impacts on people and place while enhancing the overall well-being of both people and place.
SUSTAINABLE URBANISM
“it is a way of building a place around food” Janine de la Salle and Mark Holland
AGRICULTURAL URBANISM
Their rigorous measurement standards for sustainability addressed seven performance categories:
Site ◦ Water ◦ Energy ◦ Health ◦ Materials ◦ Equity ◦ Beauty
a 99-dwelling housing development in Hackbridge, London designed by Bill Dunster (2002)
featured energy efficient dwellings and 15,000 square feet (1,394 square meters) of integrated commercial space.
BedZED(BeddingtonZero Energy Development)
is a design framework developed by the American architect William McDonough and the German chemist Michael Braungart, based on the idea of Walter Stahel (Performance Economy).
