EXPERIMENTANDO SE APRENDE

El desafío era diseñar un espacio para exhibiciones que fuera en sí mismo una muestra de sustentabilidad. La firma de arquitectos con sede en Seattle, Mithum, junto con el estudio de diseño gráfico Volume Inc., colaboraron para crear esta estructura de acero Corten, que sumerge a los «niños exploradores» en el bosque y los empapa de historia y conocimiento ecológico.
La construcción Net Zero cumple con los estándares del «Living Building Challenge»: toda su energía proviene del sol y el viento, el agua necesaria es capturada de la lluvia, y todo los residuos que se producen son reciclados y reutilizados. La «casa» situada en la Reserva Bechtel en West Virginia, Estados Unidos, sirve a los Boy Scouts of America como icono de la aventura, el campamento y el cuidado del medio ambiente, además de albergar permanentemente sus reuniones Jamboree.
Sustainability Treehouse captura lo esencial de la exploración infantil, y pone a la educación ambiental en un sitio importante, con experiencias y mensajes significativos para los miles de visitantes anuales que espera tener.
