CREATIVE ESSAY

ASSIGNMENT 1

Students are required to choose/research a topic in relation to

“What is Sustainable Architecture?”.

The topic can be historical, present, prospective, data-centric, analytical, fictional, critical, or conceptual.

REFLECTION

This assignment was my favourite assignment of the semester due to the creative freedom it gives. It gave me a chance to explore unique topics and brainstorm unorthodox ideas in search of sustainable architecture that will help save the environment. Therefore, me and my group researched on self-sustainable space exploration and colonization as a last resort to leave the environment alone. Through it, we were able to pick up interesting facts and knowledge outside our field that may benefit our future career of designing sustainable buildings.
