How much does your building (model) weigh? On heightening awareness of embodied carbon in the design studio
Abstract
This paper describes an academic exercise of our own design, conducted in our graduate-level architectural design studio in a professional architecture degree program. We designed the exercise to highlight the importance of embodied carbon in architectural decision-making processes as taught in the studio context. We report on the background and our pedagogical approach, placing the work in a context of relevant literature. We describe the academic exercise and suggest questions for the next phases of our research work.
Keywords: embodied carbon, physical models, net-positive
