 The Carbon Leadership Forum 

The Carbon Leadership Forum’s goal is to “eliminate carbon in buildings and infrastructure by inspiring innovations and the spurring change through collective action”. They have been working towards this goal in so many different ways from encouraging the reduction of carbon in as many ways as possible. Embodied carmbon is the emission of greehous gas that is said to be linked to materials and is harmful to our environment.

Architicture 2030 is a non profit organization whose goal it is is to respond to the climate emergencies. They want to design a way to change the environment from greenhouse gases that are harming our environment. They want to reduce the CO_2 emissions and stop the usage of fossil fuels by the year 2040. They want to “develop sustainable, resilient, equitable, adn zero carbon building communities and cities” (Architecture 2030). They have been designing, collaborating, planning, and educating themselves in order to build and achieve these goals.

 

Habitable 

Habitable has a goal to build environmentally friendly buildings, focusing on reduced pollution, climate change, and equity. They focus on how our every day decisions in architecture can change our environment. “We envision a better future where decision-makers consider the full product lifecycle, making conscious choices to eliminate negative impacts on people and ecosystems along the way” (Habitable). They are trying to reverse damage that has already been dealt and strive to show people the right items to use to save our planet instead of building up more waste and CO_2.

  Katie Rozeboom Introduction         Hello! My name is Katie Rozeboom, and I am from Schoolcraft, MI. I chose Interior Design as my major because I've always loved being creative, arranging things, and picking out colors that go together. I am interested specifically in Residential design.

Research Initiatives: Week 14 INT 323 Eva Serrato Carpet Tile Installation: For carpet tile installation you first have to make sure that the sub floor is in the correct condition and any sort of padding is installed beforehand. There are different patterns that need to be decided before installation starts. After this is decided then how the tiles will be planned when they intersect a doorway or a corner and this can be decided by a dry lay which is laying the carpets down before they are glued. Then the tiles need to acclimate to the humidity of the room. Then the adhesive is placed, either a peel and stick or a direct glue down. Usually starting in the middle of the room to the outside would be most efficient.  Carpet tiles can show more seams; however the installation can be easier as well as the repair can be cheaper that wall to wall because the individual tile can be removed.

My hometown is Gilberts IL, which is 15 minutes away from Judson. The reason why I picked interior design is because, growing up I always liked art and design because my mom was an art teacher, I was exposed to design and creating art at a young age. Over the years I wanted to pursue a career that would make me money, but also have a design aspect as well. I chose interior design because I love the design and problem-solving part of the job, I love the balance of creating and problem solving while also having fun designing and talking to clients.           My area of interest would be residential work, however, over the past couple years I have been leaning more towards commercial, specifically hospitality work. I feel that there are many interesting parts to designi...
