Project
D.O.G. House - Norwich University's Department of Geology Environmental Field Station: A multidisciplinary group of students from Norwich University conceived of, designed, and built a mobile, solar powered, environmental field
laboratory that can support conservation-based environmental studies through hands-on learning.
Beginning with a decommissioned 20’ intermodal shipping container as the structural chassis, Project D.O.G. House challenged students to conceptualize and fabricate a complex, criteria-driven program able to support field science activities as well as educational activities. The project introduced students to the notion of ‘process design’ and how a crafted construction strategy can benefit the architectural product, loosen design constraints, and expose possibilities.
Long term research interests included in the D.O.G. House program focus on the performance of solar electric power systems, ground water evaluation and
monitoring, and long-term heat-loss monitoring of wall assemblies incorporating reflective insulation.Project D.O.G. served as the catalyst
that brought the school of architecture together with schools of geology, electrical engineering, business, and finance in a truly sustainable multidisciplinary
academic environment.   This ten-week project also served as a proof of concept that contributed to the university being chosen as one of twenty schools to compete in Solar Decathlon 2013.
