ARPL 631 The Aesthetics of Green
This course examines the implications of designing green building: does going green change the face of design or only its content? In a series of illuminating and challenging presentations discussions and assignments the instructor will encourage students to explore the theses that beauty is inherent to sustainability; that how things look is as important as how they are made; that form and image can enhance conservation, comfort and community at every scale of design from products to building cities; that aesthetic attraction isn't just a superficial concern, it is an environmental imperative.
