Architectural Concepts in Integrated Design
Essay by Tim Faldov_MSc02_ARC
Sustainability is a word that covers a wide field and has many meanings, which in recent years has been misused in many projects worldwide. Today we still see that most sustainability discussions are based on fear, for example, the degradation of the atmosphere, land and oceans or extreme lack of the essential things we depend on for our quality of life such as energy, materials, water and social justice. (Cradle)
The architecture is an important part of our well-being, but if you take a closer look at the actual user of a dwelling compared with the studies Camilla Brunsgaard(Lecture 9) have researched in user behavior of the passive houses in Vejle, I also think that it is very important that users are briefed to use an energy efficient house so it will work as intended and through that be sustainable. So if you want to live in architecture where energy is one of the main things, juxtaposed with beautiful architecture, I think it is important to be given briefings on how to provide the best use of a given housing. You can compare it to a 70 year old elderly couple, who wants a new television and in the store will be guided to buy a new LED TV with smart-function, 3D and an associated touchpad. But they get it without instructions other than a concise survey of the television's many possibilities and therefore have given a lot of money for something modern and trendy. This means that when the elderly couple comes home only senses the use of channel 1 and 2 and looks defeated in using more than the manual remote control as they always have been used to.
Transferred to a home, I think the problem is going to be, that how the elderly couple always has been taught to live and uses a house to its best for both their own well-being and the house life; is to ventilate regularly for longer term periods in a room or after a bath. In addition, house leaks handle the remaining vent to prevent
