    CONSTRUCTING NATURE MIAMI’S MICRO WASTEWATER WETLAND SYSTEM Dedicated to: The University of Detroit Mercy 2018 Masters of Architecture Special Thanks to: Advisors Noah Resnick & Wladek Fuchs My Family, for continued love & support through my career at UDM. CONSTRUCTING NATURE MIAMI’S MICRO WASTEWATER WETLAND SYSTEM JOSEPH HARMON MASTERS OF ARCHITECTURE UNIVERSITY OF DETROIT MERCY SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE ARCH. 5100, 5110, 5200, 5210 ADVISOR NOAH RESNICK CONSTRUCTING NATURE :MIAMI’S WASTEWATER WETLANDS SYSTEMS ABSTRACT Water is arguably the most crucial element of life, but as life is a delicate balance, water becomes detrimental in just moments, destroying the life it helps to create. As we develop in the modern world, we are not free of the strains of water. Droughts, Floods, and Hurricanes, cause thousands of deaths yearly, and those are just examples of immediate impacts of water, we will see the real power of water in our lives as millions are displaced due to sea level rising and the pollution or over extraction of water. As the world and local governments move to develop sustainable designs to counter the effects of climate change, politicians controlled by the slow movement of legislation and are deterred as society questions the necessity of policies as people do not see the more significant impact and anticipate the effects shortly. The duty falls on those who are closer to the design, those who can affect it at almost an immediate level. As design and construction adhere to meet more LEED and other sustainable design protocols, they fail to step back and not ask only if this is sustainable for the purpose but also to ask if this is sustainable for the environment.
