1+3+9 Revision

The following is a revised Thesis statement and expansion thereof. It's still a work in progress so bear with me.

1. Vorsprung Durch Technic - Architecture and the Automobile: A composite panel to reduce carbon emissions and generate oxygen and usable fuels, exemplified in the new Pittsburgh Automotive Museum specifically highlighting sustainable strategies.

3. Synthetic photosynthesis has allowed man to harness nature and create oxygen and usable fuel from sunlight and a natural chemical reaction. Implementing this technology in a composite structural or curtain wall panel gives buildings the ability to "breathe," producing oxygen for its surrounding environment while the chemical reaction byproduct can be used to generate fuel to power the building. The panels will be dimensioned according to current building standards so that they are able to be retrofitted for existing structures as well as new construction and adaptive reuse projects
