CLASS INPUT 

METHOD IMPROVEMENTS Not really methodologies? Is Foster really working through the methodologies? Is this really about sustainability - or reputation/money/energy strategy (power)? Is it credible? Is applied? Universal tools? Office-based tools? Should we add enviro analysis to programme and site analysis? LEED and BREEAM are not tools! (EVA is a tool because it encourages brainstorms.) Facilitates iteration, rapid decisions, collaboration. Have architects always been asking these questions (about sustainability) or not? EVA raises questions! Iteration? Fast decision? Can we include build-nobuild questions? Not general ones Full material cycling in technical and biotic cycles, plus system design to facilitate. Can we make everything out of the waste of something else? OPL (and best of rest), SPEAR EVA EVA Sustainability Assessment Method (SAM) EVA SPEAR LISA C2C 

METHOD QUESTION/OBSERVATION More universal, less subjective - LEED & BREAM C2 

PROJECT OBSERVATION Greenwash?! (But good) Masdar City show for Masdar Carbon! | Solar PV! | MIST | Social Dimension? (Usefulness of ‘social sustainability’ No method, but high intent, creative use of existing techniques and materials, focus on ‘standard’ style. Glass insulation shell with house inside; cycle-of-nature as design approach. Low-tech, down-to-earth. Scale? Flexibility? Stylistics/lifestyle?
