Institution:

Trinity College

Subject:

Description:

Sustainability is the state of harmony between the economy, environment, and community. Here we will investigate the relationship between sustainability and the material-cultural practice of architecture. We will read the work of Mahatman Gandhi, Lewis Mumford, Doxiadis, Victor Olgyay and Otto Koenigsberger, and closely study the Whole Earth Catalogue, Drop City, Auroville, appropriate technology, Hassan Fathy, Buckminster Fuller, and others. We will look at green architecture, both as an idea and in practice (at the Druk Lotus School, the Eden Project, and elsewhere). 1.00 units, Lecture
