behavior in sustainable design, and materializes ideas and theories in spatial forms.
The project focus on low income children between ages 6-15 in Meredith Learning Center, built in M Station

design elements, make children active recipients of sustainability knowledge and help them to adopt daily
sustainable habits by providing access for environmentally friendly choices, and motivating engaging,
continuous, and appropriate acts. / text
