Item Standards in sustainable landscape architecture(2009-10) Bean, Cayce; Yang, Chia-HuiThis paper examines how the principles of sustainability may be applied to the field of landscape architecture. It gives a brief history of the Sustainable Sites Initiative and the guidelines and benchmarks developed by that organization to measure the long-term environmental and social impact of landscape design. The paper then goes on to discuss strategies for water management, use of vegetation, and site design for sustainable landscape architecture.Item Sustainable cities: 21st century strategies for inhabitable urban regions(2009-11) Bean, Cayce; Maddox, Randy; Ward, NatalieAn examination of strategies for limiting the conditions that will cause urban areas to reach a point of unsustainability. These conditions include urban sprawl, infrastructure (particularly modes of transportation), and affordable housing. Strategies discussed include green belts and urban growth boundaries (UGBs), alternate transportation methods, and low income and mixed income development, among others. Based on a lecture by Ricky Burdett.Item Transit oriented development(The University of Texas at Austin School of Architecture Center for Sustainable Development, 2009-12) Lang, Werner; Wang, Wilfried; Bader, StefanStudents in the School of Architecture's Fall 2009 Advanced Design Studio on Sustainable Architecture were asked to design a railway station that would serve as a central hub for the Austin metro area's proposed high-speed rail service. This document is a compiled selection of plans, diagrams and virtual 3-D renderings created by the studio participants. As instructor and editor Wilfried Wang says in his introduction, these proposals address the project with "a boldness and realistic utopianism that is necessary to sustain the ensuing extensive and aggrevated public debates".
