Raising Awareness via Design!
Samuel T. Coleridge wrote in his balad the Rime of Ancient Mariner, “Water, water, every where, Not any drop to drink”..
As an architect, I address societal and environmental issues through my designs
I drew this sketch that was once presented by Greenheart campaign for environmental awareness to illustrate my point!
All the projects that I get to design, I make sure that a water catchement is designed wether to be fed by a slopy roof thats catch rain water through a certain drain or from boreh***s or even from a communal well (as preventive measures)
for water usages, solar panels can be the most sustainable for now. It depends on the area of the project to provide adequate filters for potable water.
Grey water catchment is designed to direct filter used water for further usages as in watering the garden, filling the pool... and the waste is potentially for organic decomposting!

the bigger the project the more team players may engage in the process! to raise awareness via design is promote sustainable consumption of resourses and lifestyle (as in good habits) without compromising comfort or quality of life. so by modifying homes to have water cycle system, you are raising their awareness of their water consumption and other habits (for instance: to use biodegradable products to prevent water contamination and waste) and other .. as in gadening or farming possibilities due to grey water availability..
Or even grey water can be used to generate power!
Offcourse this is one aspect of the design cycle process that is Water and the wh*** process should include other trades and team players!

The food actually tasted fresher than in the past and was easy to keep fueled.Dad was very proud of the solar hybrid…See More

In addition the Stinging Nettle consists…See More

Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More

The exchange works directly for state and public workers and servants. It gives them credit in exchange for the amount of public work they contribute to the community. The more constructive they are based off a base rate the more credit they recieve.
