My Part

I designed my first part of the exhibit today! One of our ideas is to have the concept icons throughout the rest of the gardens to show other examples of what the five concepts are. In order to do this we want to have visitors pick up a card when they enter the gardens or the Bosarge center. This card will show the five icons along with a definition of what they mean. The front says "The Bosarge Family Education Center" "A LEED Platinum Sustainable Building Come See How It Works!" On the front there is also a picture of the building. The back has the five icons down the left, and down the right there is a one sentence definition of the concepts. So if a plant designed a building:
Generating: The SUN would be it's primary source of energy
Cycling: Recycling, reusing and rethinking 'waste' materials would be a priority.
Shaping: The shape would fit the topography, the soil and climate of the bioregion.
Conserving: The earth's limited stock of resources would be used carefully and creatively.
Sustaining: The needs, health and survival of the next generation would guide all decisions.
