About the video: Two Environmental Paradigms Applied to Small Scale Architecture
Overview
“Let's have a look at two environmental paradigms that can provide you with some background on how to understand and explain the benefits of designing with repurposed objects to others. The first paradigm is called "cradle to cradle". This concept comes from the book Cradle to Cradle: Remaking the Way We Make Things, published in 2002 by Michael Braungart, ecologist and chemist, and William McDonough, landscape architect. The second paradigm is the concept of a circular economy, whose objective is to gradually separate economic activity from the consumption of finite resources while increasing natural and social capital.”
In this video lesson Izaskun Chinchilla Moreno addresses the topic: Two Environmental Paradigms Applied to Small Scale Architecture, which is part of the Domestika online course: Eco-Friendly Pop-up Architecture. Learn to design small scale installations from scratch by exploring the principles of circular economy.
Partial transcription of the video
“Two Environmental Paradigms Applied to Small Scale Architecture In this lesson, we'll look at two environmental paradigms that will help you explain to others, the advantages of designing with repurposed objects. First thing I'd like to explore with you in this lesson is what is a paradigm in architectural design. The term paradigm comes from a specific book by Thomas Kuhn. Originally, that book was looking at science and how paradigms are affecting investigation and research in the science field. But in my doctoral thesis and dissertation, I explored how this book would be applied to archi...”
