The lecture Amily gave us was about Sustainable Materials.
The week was all about green and eco-friendly.
The five facts that I marked down during lecture which will lead the building to being green are:-
1. Harmonize with site.
2. Built little as possible.
3.Buildings should generate own electricity and should heat and cool naturally
4.Maximize resource efficiency
5.Beauty of Ecological design
It was built by German Architects, Patrick Frey and Bjorn Gotte. This green home building's is made from sustainable materials, wood since wooden materials can provide naturalistic feelings for the house especially since this house is located on a natural open site. About half of the wall is filled with glasses which allows the natural light from outside flows into the house naturally.
Even though the house is just a simple rectangular house, the striped patterns of the wooden material on the wood makes it beautiful as the sunlight passes through the gaps between and reflecting on the walls of it.
And also during the lecture, Amily introduced us to an organization called LEED, standing for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design. It is developed by the USGBC, short for US Green Building Council. It consists of a suite of rating systems for the design, construction and operation of high performance green buildings, home and neighborhoods.
