Program Description
Event Details
In this workshop, students will gain a deeper understanding of geography, world history and sustainable design through a virtual exploration of world regions using Google Maps and Google Earth. Students will examine historical sites, study their development and consider why those sites were successful. After analyzing several case studies, students will understand the basic concepts of sustainable design and then use their new perspective as they sketch a house of the future for a specific global site. They will present their sustainable designs to their classmates and offer justifications for specific design elements.
