Sustainable Housing

Presented by:Kimberly KozelPresented by:Kimberly Kozel

Not a new ConceptNot a new Concept

The idea of sustainable development has been around a long time

People used only the materials available in their region to them to build housing

Warm climate: use mud bricks Cooler forested area: use wood for your

housing, heating, and cooking.

Sustainable Design:Sustainable Design:

“Sustainable design recognizes the interdependence of the built and natural environments; it seeks to harness natural energy flows and biological processes, eliminate reliance on fossil fuels and toxic materials, and improve resources and efficiency. In the short run, the impact of these changes will reduce the environmental impact of our designs. In the long run, the goal is to create buildings that are not only not harmful but actually part of natural systems and restorative of those systems. Sustainable design is concerned with the quality of our environment as a whole system”

Goals:Goals:

Waste nothing Adapt to place Use “free” resources Optimize rather than maximize Create a livable environment

Financial CostsFinancial Costs

Sustainable design is built to last longer The materials used can be re-used or

recycled More energy efficient, which in the long

term saves on utility bills Can benefit profit margins of builders

“Everything we need to build a truly perfect home of the future already exists. But we have to figure out how to select the best of the best and properly integrate it into building.”

“The Katrina Furniture Project focuses on developing culturally sensitive, ecologically sustainable building prototypes that will help to guide the redevelopment process; as well as building the economic and social capacity of those neighborhoods in New Orleans that experienced severe pre-Katrina economic and social challenges through furniture making workshops.”

Wants to help revitalize the community in Austin, Texas near 35

The community is predominantly Hispanic and black

The community is poor and marginalized

There is concern the land may be taken away through development
