| dc.description.abstract | The thesis Life, Learning, and
Sustainablility examines the
way in which architects can
instill a sense of sentiment
towards sustainability in future
generations. Architects deplete
our resources, and therefore
through creative use of their
site architects can find more
sustainable methods and
strategies for building so that
we may not have to be without
our resources in the future. It is
through memories and a sense
of community that we impact
generations to come and change the future. There is no time like the present to take architecture to the next level and help a world in need by preserving our most precious resources and that natural
beauty of the world around us. This thesis will consist of a project under the typology of a 55,000 square foot elementary school in northern South Dakota. This project will specifically look at the rural farming communities of Hosmer, Roscoe, and
Bowdle. Communities with a
rich German-Russian heritage
and weather conditions that
can range from drought to
blizzards. Successful completion of this project will result in a model for how to preserve small
communities that become desolate especially when faced with school mergers; through use of memory it
will instill a renewed sense of
community and sustainability in
future generations and cause
architects to rethink the design
of a school. | en_US |
