European Sustainable Energy Week
By Tom
Published: January 29, 2008
As part of the European Sustainable Energy Week initiative (28 Jan-1 Feb 08) the American Institute for Roman Culture Architecture Program course in sustainable design, with Prof. Tom Rankin, is carrying out a week-long laboratory on Rome's Systems of Sustainability. Students are working in the design lab researching 5 themes essential to contemporary Rome: Energy, Water, Land, Materials and Transportation. Site visits throughout the city, including marginalized peripheral neighborhoods enrich the students' first-hand experience. At the end of the week a joint laboratory with students from the University of Rome Engineering Faculty will allow for cross-cultural exchange and information gathering. The final product of the week's work will be a multimedia document for the Institute's archives and distribution.
