Rab proposal paragraph – Michael Morales

My Resersch question is: How can the integration of green infrastructure in urban architectural designs contribute to the sustainability of buildings while enhancing the resilience of urban areas to climate change?

This topic interests me because: As the population grows more and more buildings will emerge. The construction of a building can produce up to 15 to 100 tons of CO2 emissions so as an Architecture major I want to be cognizant of how design can be sustainable while also enhancing a space. We have to learn how to incorporate green infrastructure like green roofs, living walls, and water management systems. We also have to keep in mind creating affordable, sustainable housing solutions that meet the specific needs of low-income residents. The question encourages a holistic view of sustainability, considering environmental, economic, and social dimensions.
