The Green+House Project begins with the standard house section shown. This particular house section comes from a small house designed on a lake in New England. There is nothing inherently green in the line-work shown, although the home design began with the eco-conscious soul of the architect (me). The greenness of the building assembly is at this point up to the discretion of the designer. So this is where the project begins. My study will begin by zooming into the foundation condition and work my way up the exterior wall of the building. This section will remain as a reminder of the big picture and holistic goal of the project.
Some classic resources for standard construction I will reference include:
· Architectural Graphic Standards by Ramsey and Sleeper and the AIA
· Fundamentals of Building Construction; Materials and Methods by Edward Allen
· Building Construction Illustrated by Francis D.K. Ching
· Graphic Guide to Construction by Rob Thallon
Green foundation research begins now!
