Greetings from the Ecohouse Team!
Window Farm from the inside of the Ecohouse
Greetings from the Ecohouse Team! This semester we will be working on three projects centered around the Ecohouse.
The first project is to create something we can place in the window of the Ecohouse. Thus far in the semester the Window team has been hard at work coming up with ideas as well as reading past legacy reports in regards to the window farm which is currently holding the place of honor in the front room of the house.
Ideas for this project include:
Continuing to work with the Window farm project
A water wall
A waterfall
Hard at work designing a drainage system for the Green House
The Green House Team is working closely with Jennifer Willet on creating a green house which will be built on the southern facing wall of the Ecohouse. They have been hard at work reading previous legacy reports and coming up with design ideas to please everyone involved.
Another member of the group has discovered an interesting way to make your trip to the curb on recycling day a bit easier. Justin has found designs for a pop can air heater, and the team is creating a model of this idea to test it’s possible use with the green house.
The Lot Team is back in action. All three members have decided to come back after last year’s success and continue with the work to be done. Currently they are working hard to create a design for the lot which will benefit all the students at the University, by creating a place to hang out in the spring and fall.
Possible ideas for the lot include:
A brick bbq
Swings to sit on
A seating area
A garden
A covered area
A sculpture garden
