Explore The Building Materials: This year, the competition will focus on public buildings in the coastal environment of Southern California.
Students entering Challenge 1 will design an Environmental Museum and Interpretative Center and students entering Challenge 2 will design a Park Office and Snack Bar.
Both buildings will be located in the new Orange County Great Park, in Irvine, California.
The competition objectives are to encourage and reward excellence in architectural planning and design that integrates environmentally responsive design strategies.
Competition participants will have the opportunity to explore energy efficiency as a basic standard of building design, incorporate principles of sustainability in the choice of building materials, water use, building design, and building site, investigate new building materials & methodologies that
But how does someone decide to 'go green' and what exactly does that mean?
The Green House: New Directions in Sustainable Architecture and Design is a ground-breaking exhibition which will examine new developments in green technology and products.
The exhibition will explore the building materials, consumer products, and energy systems that offer attractive and often affordable sources of the latest in home building technology and products.See Also Building Façades:Active Façades : A New Medium?
Building façades and walls are changing before our eyes, reacting with apparent intelligence to the news, the weather-even our physical proximity to the structures.
Some announce the activities they contain or the building's use and occupancy ("open to the public," for example, or "home team plays tonight"), in ways both transcendent and trite.
Others play games literally with the outside world, tricking the eyes of passersby or treating invited parties to both dialogue and diversion.
Macaulay's unique brand of visual archeology not only peels back exterior façades and interior walls to reveal what is beneath them, but his drawings show us how a building is designed and constructed from the ground up, making the inaccessible, accessible.
This exhibition will feature Macaulay's original architectural drawings from Cathedral (1973), City (1974), Pyramid (1975), Underground (1976), Castle (1977), Unbuilding (1980), Mill (1983), Building Big (2000), and most recently, Mosque (2003).
On The Other Hand See Municipal Building:"The sustainable approach emphasizes making the appropriate choices for site, building design and construction methods to reduce both the energy costs and the negative impacts on our environment."
The three-year program prepares students to work as technologists alongside architects, engineers, builders, contractors and municipal building departments.
It has 3 parks, ten playgrounds, a municipal building (1911). the George L. Pease Memorial Library, and an attractive post office (1938). The site of Ridgewood was a part of a grant of 42,500 acres made in 1709 to a syndicate of Jersey capitalists.
