The program diagram for a US embassy provides an overview of the various stages involved in establishing and maintaining a diploma c mission. It highlights the importance of effec ve planning and management to ensure embassy success.

The rubric is a tool for assessing the impact of climate change on a project and is divided into five categories: risks, effects, design solu ons, material choices, and area of implementa on, in this example climate change is the main driver. The rubric priori zes the most cri cal categories, such as risks and effects, to ensure that the project is designed to address the most pressing issues related to climate change. It is a useful tool for creating more sustainable and climate-resilient buildings and projects.

To make a US embassy more resilient to climate change, we used a rubric to iden fy the best solu ons and materials such as green roofs, high-performance insula on, and energy-efficient systems. Designers could create models or simula ons to show how these solu ons work in different weather scenarios. Implementa on melines depend on the project phase. Designers consider climate and environmental condi ons during planning and add climate-responsive features in the design phase. Embassy staff maintain and monitor the systems during opera ons. At the end of the embassy’s life, designers dispose or reuse materials responsibly to minimize the impact on the environment.

I was selected to present for a group of OBO officials on their studio tour, where I represented the student group and spoke about our work. It was an exci ng opportunity to showcase our designs and ideas to a group of professionals in the field. I presented our work and discussed our design process, highligh ng the research, development, and decision-making that went into our final projects. Overall, it was a valuable experience to share our work with such an esteemed group and receive feedback on our designs.
