Abstract

This was a project based seminar to explore the aesthetic potentials of sustainability in architecture. Sustainability is a very broad notion and can vary depending on the context and local environmental condition. Aesthetics is quite subjective and usually a personal matter. The seminar was an exercise to explore and research how to integrate aesthetic qualities in an environmental conscious way. The assignment was open for all possible assumptions such as location, energy and water supply of the grid and the hypothetical scenario of the client.
