Abstract

This thesis project, Architecture’s Impact, will aim to find a solution to the question, “How can architecture be used as a tool to educate its inhabitants about environmental issues?” The typology involved in this investigation is an educational facility, located just South of Mankato, MN. The unifying idea, which provides direction for research is, “Architecture can provide itself as an example of good environmental decisions, as well as offer information about those decisions in order to help the inhabitants better understand environmental issues.” Environmental education is important as the only way to truly change our society's harmful practices is enlightening people through education.
