As a final step in this course you will summarize your discoveries made with water and sustainability that you uncovered throughout this course by the means of an intervention. This final “dissemination” is intended to propel your knowledge into the greater public, further demonstrating our tools in seeking a greater sustainability in the built environment.
An Intervention:
For this final assignment to wrap up our course you are free to create your own type of intervention. The degree of impact, visibility or distribution is completely up to you. You may intervene with any type of design intentions (spatial forms and programs, education, demonstration), work with any number of medias (printed, web, podcast, live), and on a number of scales (local, community, city, country, regional, worldwide). You are asked to follow these guidelines:
1. Use your mapping from your midterm as your basis for moving forward
2. Utilize one of the “tools/frameworks” we discussed in class (for example: new processes, new or multiple programming, expanded operational impact and others)
3. Explore case studies of similar types of interventions
4. Document your progress by way of photos, sketches or scans
5. Stay within the realm of safe and legal practices both on campus and in the city
Final Paper:
In combination with your intervention you will submit a final paper that summarizes your Intervention. There is no need to discuss the first two “assignments.” Focus your paper on the final intervention, its purpose, its process and the final outcome, impacts and of course, its dissemination.
The paper should properly cite a minimum of THREE sources provided within the course curriculum. The sources should support your intentions while strengthening your search for sustainability in the built environment.
