[.A2 | CASE STUDY]
​
Green buildings are gaining traction in architecture, yet their significance in addressing climate change and fostering healthy environments often goes unnoticed in public discourse. This assignment aims to spotlight the importance of green buildings through a case study. In groups of five students, the task is to research and analyze accredited green buildings, focusing on their environmental strategies. By delving into one building's approach, students aim to learn and advocate for sustainable architectural practices. Through presentations like A1 posters and 1-minute videos, the assignment aims to raise awareness of the positive impact of green buildings on climate change mitigation and public health.
