By examining the Minimalist ethos, joint and junctures and light, it is my intention to propose that Minimalist
architecture easily and naturally accommodates the environmental ethos of reducing, reusing, recycling and recovering.
More over, Minimalism, which draws widespread admiration as all good architecture does, allows us to graft
inspiration and inherent environmental queues onto the ever-expanding yet distinct branch of green architecture.
Producing a possible hybrid that initiates a new type of architectural discourse, one that moves beyond contemporary
convention into the future reality of conservation.
I present to you the UBC School of Journalism. Although, this building presently exists, I chose to design and develop
the School of Journalism on the basis of green architecture, which means designing with nature in an environmentally
responsible way.
