Feedback on Sustainability Discussion

I wanted to take a minute and use this opportunity to express my opinion about the whole idea on sustainability. I agree with Mat when he brings the topic saying that sustainability has become a common problem and a complex subject to deal with among designers. As I am proceeding with my studies as a landscape architecture student, I learn more every day about the meaning of what is to be sustainable. Although sustainability is now and days the most efficient way of designing spaces, I believe that this same design method is an idea that goes accordingly to each project location and the designer's style. It is not necessary or it shouldn't never be part of the asla code ethics. I have listening to successful designer's speech at the BAC and other places, that are doing marvelous design work on other parts of the world and have not embraced a sustainable design method. I find Boston a very difficult city to express any rich and innovated design. For instance, I love working with colors and am all in favor of modernism.

Analysis Approach

In the effort of beginning my search on David Square I have created a questionnaire of about 12 questions that emphasize on the use, circulation and physical comfort of David Square. To complete my research and gather the information that I needed to know about the Square, I decided that interviewing people would be most efficient. I visited my site in two different days for a period of 2 hours each visit. The first visit I made was on a Wednesday between the hours of 3-5pm about 3 weeks ago. During these hours I had the opportunity to interview a few people, man and woman. The second visit I made was on Friday of that same week at a later time between 7-8pm.
