At the heart of architecture lie the health, safety and welfare of the occupants. Much of the construction that occurs around the world, as a result of the availability of seemingly endless energy and efficient systems that allow for humans to create their own atmosphere inside, no longer responds to the ecosystem in which it is located. In looking at homes across the globe, in many different climatic zones, it is difficult to decipher which house is from which location, whether or not it is a hot and humid climate, or if the home could be buried under snow. The ecosystem is not something to shut out; in fact it can be utilized within the architecture and site to attempt homeostasis. The aim of this thesis is to move architecture away from the efficient linear design, to an effective complex relationship within its ecosystem by utilizing plants, sustainable principles, and surfaces on and within architecture that are underutilized.

520 $a At the heart of architecture lie the health, safety and welfare of the occupants. Much of the construction that occurs around the world, as a result of the availability of seemingly endless energy and efficient systems that allow for humans to create their own atmosphere inside, no longer responds to the ecosystem in which it is located. In looking at homes across the globe, in many different climatic zones, it is difficult to decipher which house is from which location, whether or not it is a hot and humid climate, or if the home could be buried under snow. The ecosystem is not something to shut out; in fact it can be utilized within the architecture and site to attempt homeostasis. The aim of this thesis is to move architecture away from the efficient linear design, to an effective complex relationship within its ecosystem by utilizing plants, sustainable principles, and surfaces on and within architecture that are underutilized.
520 $a Plants and the site have an array of benefits that can be effectively used with architecture. Initially, the context and the site must be interpreted to see what strategies are viable. The air can be polluted with particulate matter and VOCs (Volatile organic compound). Even in small quantities, over a long time these can have lasting health effects. Plants are able to take up many of these harmful chemicals and filter particulate matter produced by cars, trains, and industrial processes. Earth can be pulled into the architecture to be the growth medium for vegetation, as well as mitigating temperature swings. The architecture and the site have a mutually beneficial relationship. These strategies allow for a built environment to breath, evolve, and adapt, as Earth has for millennia.
520 $a This thesis will explore how to implement these elements and strategies within a skin system on three case studies; on a single family residence, a public co-working facility, and finally on a low rise residential complex. Plants and passive design principles can be used on a multitude of project typologies. Architecture can no longer continue down this linear destructive path focused on things that are aesthetically pleasing and ignoring the environment in which they are placed. Designers and architects could take principles from the natural world to push the built environment. Something different must be tested, and if it fails, we learn from our mistakes and try again until we succeed.
