Teaching Sustainable Design: A Hands-on Interdisciplinary Model
2010
Lamba, Baldev | Chapman, Grace
Students and instructors from the Department of Landscape Architecture and Horticulture, located on the Temple University Ambler Campus, collaborated on the design and construction of an exhibit for the 2009 Bella Italia Philadelphia Flower Show. The design of the exhibit, inspired by Italian traditions, promoted sustainable principles and practices through the use of indigenous and recycled materials and conservation of natural resources. Temple University's exhibit received five awards, including the American Horticultural Society Environmental Award and the Garden Club Federation of Pennsylvania Award for Conservation. This article documents the interdisciplinary and hands-on teaching model used in creating and implementing a sustainable design, as well as the results of the follow-up student surveys about the lessons learned and public responses to the exhibit.
