LTV Steel

Environmental design is the process of addressing environmental parameters when devising plans, programs, policies, buildings, or products.

The College of Environmental Design (CED) of the University of California, Berkeley is located in Wurster Hall on the main UC Berkeley campus. It is composed of four departments: Architecture, City and Regional Planning, and Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning.

Planning and designing environmentally friendly buildings usually requires a degree in architecture or some other relevant design field. Building structures is engineering and construction. Both areas that provide input to the completed project for including environmentally friendly components.

Environmental Design a good career?
HDR

I am currently majoring in graphic design but possibly want to get into jounalism/editorial design for magazines or newspapers but recently I have been really interested in environmental design which is landscape architecture. One class I am taking (perspective) is based on that. I find a new interest in it and I am very creative.
Does anyone know more about environmental design and how much is the salary?
Please only answer if you know what your taking about. Thanks!


Environmental Design I assume is something like Sustainable Development, and/or Urban Planning. There are many people in my Environmental Conservation Firm that do this type of work, the pay is good, I am sure the old timers in my company are making 90 gs, you can be creative with in this field but it is a lot of boring work too. I believe that you are more drawn to the Design field than you are the Environmental field but if I am wrong, environmental science is a flexible degree to have... Also, Environmental Journalism is really great as well especially internationally for ex. in africa where they rely on the environment so much for survival someone needs to tell these people what is going on within their environment!!! - this is my 2nd job choice :) sorry for rambling hope this helps!

  • Mercer Slough Ed Center awarded environmental #39;gold#39; certification ...

    The Mercer Slough Environmental Education Center has earned Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) gold certification for its environmental design and sustainable features.

    Opened last October, the MSEEC is a collection of relatively small buildings built on pilings to minimize impact on the surrounding wetland. Environmentally friendly features include green roofs, rain gardens, “passive” ventilation that conserves energy and recycled building materials.

    The education center is the city’s first LEED-certified project and one of only eight LEED-certified projects in Bellevue. It’s the first gold-level LEED project in the city – one of only 53 gold-certified projects statewide.

    “This award reflects our city’s long-standing commitment to environmental stewardship and we should all be proud of this environmental treasure that will be enjoyed for generations to come,” Mayor Grant Degginger said.

    The U.S. Green Building Council established the LEED program to be a national standard for high-performance, sustainable buildings that focus on water savings, energy efficiency, materials selection and indoor air quality. LEED ratings include certified, bronze, silver, gold and platinum levels.

    Ali Gates, Bachelor of Landscape Architecture « UNSW Built Environment

    Hey all! It’s Ali Gates again. So now we’re faced with our third year second semester design assignment in Landscape Architecture. We’re looking at the proposed Sydney metro train line that is to run from Central to Roselle. We’ve been given a lot of freedom in this design studio. Our task is to pick one of the proposed stations and come up with our own brief and meet it. I’ve decided I will focus on Central Station. As this station is already huge and confusing enough, I will try and make the metro line link easily accessible and visible. Also I’d like to link Pitt Street with the station better as at the moment I feel the station has turned its back on Pitt Street and it feels like a bit of a dead space.

    What’s cool about this semester’s design studio is that we’re going to be working with students from other courses as well. I believe there are a class of Architects, Interior Architects and, I think, Industrial Designers looking at the Metro line at well. I think this will be a great experience to see the project through their eyes when we get to see what they’re doing. So far we have been looking at other stations on the Sydney rail system as precedents. At the moment I’m half way through a one of these precedent studies. This assignment required us to take a trip on a train anywhere we liked, and then we were required to express our experience on the trip in any form we chose. I decided to go on the train line from Epping to Chatswood. I had never been on this line before but I found if very efficient. I went on a Sunday and was surprised to find that it ran every 15 minutes- on a Sunday! I wish all the trains ran that often! However there were not many people using the trains- I had a carriage all to myself. This and the fact that it’s all underground made the whole experience feel very mechanical as I was devoid of all human contact. Anyway this is the painting I decided to do to reflect my journey. It’s not finished yet but I’m pretty happy with it so far. This assignment is a bit abstract but it’s nice to have a break from the usual.
