Green By Addition

Green by Addition is a project that explores a re-calibration of the first ring suburbs with re-inhabiting of the Contractor Cape Cod house as its basic element. Issues of cultural complexity were addressed along with issues of sustainability resulting in a framework around four core areas of Material Culture, Technology Culture, Nature Culture & Community Culture. The Minnesota Sustainable Design Guide was used by the team as a generator to address some of the questions about sustainability and to look at implications at the house, block and city level.
