This workbase is to response to the 2030 Challenge [2] , which stated that the building sector must become carbon neutral by the year 2030. This is due to the fact that architecture – or the building sector, more generally – is the largest single source of greenhouse gas emissions, worldwide.

Thus, this workbase will be investigating design issues and design problems relate to environmental – conscious architecture and most importantly:-

“That the project be designed to engage the environment in a way that dramatically reduces or eliminates the need for fossil fuels.”
