There’s a buzz on the National Mall that the Lawrence Tech team is definitely in the running in the architecture design event of the Solar Decathlon. Sponsors and members of other teams who toured the house on Thursday loved the large (1,100 square feet) deck that also provides universal access. The inner courtyard that can be closed off with a rolling door is another favorite.
Win or lose, just to be here at the vanguard of sustainable design is a thrill for the members of Team ALOeTERRA. The ideal of a self-sufficient house comes in all sorts of shapes and sizes when interpreted by 20 teams of college students. To see 20 visions of tomorrow all in one place is exhilarating.
Thursday was the final day of construction before the official start of the competition on Friday morning. After two years of planning and four months of construction, it all came down to “one more all-nighter” for many of the team members to finish up the last-minute details.
