K-12 school buildings, whether new or existing, carry a unique set of decarbonization challenges. The 2024 Architecture at Zero Design Competition directed participants to integrate themes of decarbonization, resilience, and equity in the design of a new building for Griffith STEAM Magnet Middle School in East Los Angeles, replacing a suite of aging portable buildings on campus. Entrants were required to develop a comprehensive site plan incorporating detailed performance analysis, renewable energy, and carbon reduction strategies. Participants also demonstrated how their designs would enhance resilience through robust climate adaptation strategies, and to promote equity within the community.
This webinar offers an exploration of innovative architectural solutions, conveying insight into how the competition’s winning entries were developed and what were some of the lessons learned throughout the process.
