Green Building Design
What career for a person interested in Green ECo-friendly architecture?
I am a undecided freshman UCSD considering major options. An interest I have is eco friendly archtecture and alternative building materials. In high school I designed an earth sheltered home and a strawbale home for an Environmental Science class and I found it a lot of fun. What would I major in i were to pursue a career in this field? and what careers are available? I know it is a growing trend as the environment is degrading and i would like to do everything I can to help.
