This Thesis project is an exploration into possible ways for incorporating architecture as a learning experience into sustainable design practices. Such an endeavor will promote healthy living and ensure that future generations will continue to thrive. Through a system of conscious and subconscious interactive elements the building encourages sustainable learning in “Moments of Green Living.” The building creates continual interaction with sustainable features like renewable power generation and water systems that recycle all waste products produced by the residents.

The building is located on SW Gibbs in Portland’s South Waterfront EcoDistrict. The building’s North Facade accelerates the strong winds from the Northwest towards wind turbines located on the East corner of the building. This creates an incredibly efficient energy production system.

The South facade of the building is formed to create green terraces where residents are able to interact with the water collection systems of the building.
