Social Impact of Design Decisions

 In an effort to provide information to the engineers and architects that they can use to promote adaptability, this page shines some light on the impact of design decisions on society. Whether in a negative or positive way, done intentionally or unintentionally, big or small impact, these examples are just a few of design impacts.

The following data was collected by the students of Dr. Brandon Ross' Fall 2020 CE-8930 course, Adaptable Building Design, and presented on this website as a final project for the course. Below are the links to navigate to multiple examples of ​technical design decisions and how they impact society, as gathered by the students.
