Sustainable Design

• Sustainable design : is the art of designing physical objects and the built environment to comply with the principles of economic, social, and ecological sustainability.
  
• My working definition : As i have looked thorough several journals and read things about sustainable design i developed my own definition, to me it means using design techniques to improve our ecosystem that being with the paints and furniture we use, Even though that we are trying to improve our Eco system by going green and using economic tactics we can still keep the same thoughts and ideas you just have to put more thought onto your designs. I think that as we progress using sustainable design will come naturally to us. Who ever thought that milk could be used as paint, well there is such a thing. Milk combined with limestone and natural pigments. Using this type of paint really helps the environment a lot because this combined does not cause air pollutants to damage the Ozone. I think that all the paint should be replace with this kind even though it only has 20 different colors to it. Overall i really enjoy this type of paint and i think it is a good thing to start putting out in the market, not only does it not cause pollution but it also is good on furniture and interior places.
  
  
  

The Flexilove chair is made with recyclable materials such are Honeycomb and other products that can recycled over and over. Not only is it healthy for the environment but it also stretches to fit any where from one person to sixteen people. I think that this design is really interesting, i really like how it is made of complete recyclable material that wont harm the environment. Overall I really want a chair like this one above because it seems very comfortable and you can store it easily if you need too.







1. This house above belongs to Amy and Bob Tait, during their trip to Australia they fell in love with this design. Not only is it a great design but it is very "green," meaning that everything in it is used of recyclable material that can be used over and over. Even though this house is said to be green they still have the most modern appliances such as the Dishwasher, Washer and Dryer, to be able to have those appliances they had to reduce their heat, to solve that problem they installed solar panels at an angle on the roof those panels are supported six photovoltaic cells mounted on a disused shipping container parked in a sunny clearing a few feet away from the house. I think that this house is a great example of what we are doing to try to make the world better, even though we have started and a few people are trying to go green i still think that more people need to get involved.
