Dr. Forgey bought all of us Michael Mobbs book, Sustainable House and assigned 2 chapters to each student to discuss prior to visiting the actual house. Dr. Forgey arranged for us to visit the house despite it has been taken off the tour circuit since November of last year. I requested the chapter on the Kitchen and the chapter on the Refrigerator…appropriately so with my insatiable desire to eat and drink.
After lunch in Chinatown, we strolled over to the Powerhouse Museum which has several exhibits, including a trip back to the 80’s with ABBA but we were there to see the “Ecologic – Creating a sustainable future” exhibit. Among other things, the main thing we wanted to see was the “sustainable house” exhibit which displayed many of the features of the house. Although we were getting a private tour of the actual house the next day, it served as another knowledge source prior to us visiting. It’s amazing to see the public recognition this house has received and how it has inspired so many.
