The Development and Use of Low Embodied Energy Materials in a Carbon Conscious Construction Sector

Week 05 Reflection

This week I worked at a scale much smaller than that which I would be used to. I found this to be very interesting as I took the week to look at factors which affect the ways in which

we

areas

tackle high

urban

infrastructure

growth.

To

in

juxtapose

our patterns of growth with those of other major cities points to differing views on land ownership and preferred housing typologies.

I hope to use this information as a vehicle for experimenting with forms of low/no embodied energy construction in an attempt to illustrate the positive change we can have on the current predictions for the future of the environment.

I plan on building on this information in the coming week through the testing of precedent studies. My aim is to research a number of residential structures which use low embodied energy construction methods and to draw each of their typical makeups in order to juxtapose this against the conventional building studying I completed in week three.
