assignment 5.0 Research Paper: reflection

This assignment asked us to research a relevant issue that interests us in the design world. Because sustainability is a practice which every designer should exercise, I chose to research and propose the importance of sustainability. I focused on a variety of important aspects including natural energy, materialization, LEED accreditation, recycling and the benefits of sustainable design. This assignment allowed us to gain knowledge in a aspect of design which we were interested in knowing more about. This paper introduced me to new ideas which I can adopt in future projects.
