Summary
Taking viewers to the crossroads of aesthetic, functional, and sustainability issues, this program looks at aspects of design that can have negative ecological consequences. Students learn about eco-friendly design and the use of life-cycle assessments by architects and product designers to ensure that their work has minimal environmental impact. Sustainable design techniques are investigated through case studies of a "zero energy" home that makes use of spatial and solar-heating innovations, and of a specially insulated tea kettle that demonstrates further innovative solutions to energy consumption problems.
