- abt:To design a carbon neutral / net zero energy building that can be substantiated by reailstic calculations in a real world situation is the goal of this design exploration. After considering the efficiencies of different renewable energy sources, we chose a two-system approach to power the building. Solar collectors, located in a double-skin cavity, will provide hot water for domestic needs as well as to heat and cool the building. Photovoltaic panels will also be used to provide electricity for the lighting system, plug loads, and the miscellaneous pumps and fans associated with the HVAC system.

- abt:Civil space is territory of the individual and the collective population. There is an inherent tension when considering the needs of an individual relative to the collective needs. This tension informs design as a composite of ideals: those of the state collective as well as those it serves. Formally expressing this tension is the dynamic relationship of the city grid, the source of people, to the boundaries of this moderating institution.

- abt:Distressed inner cities such as Gary, IN have substantial decay with phenomena such as urban prairies growing from the rubble of demolition. Much of the depression in these locations is caused by the loss of a large industrial power. Low cost, locally sustaining and productive industries along with cultural changes have potential to spur growth in these conditions. This project presents a locally sufficient community based around a dense agricultural core.
