| dc.description.abstract | What effect does sustainability and design consideration have on affordable housing? This
thesis investigates affordable housing and how sustainable design can make it more economical.
There is a lack of design that goes into a lot of mass-produced affordable housing
complexes. Most of these buildings are made with lack of any real design, mostly made with
the cheapest materials, and put up as fast as possible. There is immense pressure on society
to provide housing for everyone in the community, so those designing these buildings are
not to blame. However, I do believe with more research there is a better design solution to
be discovered that will overall better this type of architecture. By using case studies, qualitative
and correlative research methods I will show the effect sustainable design can have
on affordable housing. Sustainability can improve costly utilities and the overall function
of the building. While putting thought and consideration into material choices, HVAC
systems, and passive design affordable housing has the potential to not only house those
who need it most but help ease the toll construction takes on the environment. Through
case studies, published writings and scholarly journals this design thesis will answer the
design question at hand. | en_US |
