Nutrient: MIR DNA Analysis
Nutrient: MIR DNA Analysis
Our Make It Right prototype seeks to move beyond current best practices of environmental
efficency towards an eco-effective agenda that seeks to optimize quality at all scales through the
consideration of a diverse range of economic, ecological, social, and technical criteria. Within
natural metabolisms, the house will exemplify a Cradle to Cradle approach with all materials
classified as either of the following: G
> Biological Nutrients: the nutrients that support life on Earth intended to flow perpetually
through regenerative cycles of growth, decay and rebirth. PV
AR
EA
> Technical Nutrients: designed to mirror natural nutrient cycles, they exist in a closed-loop sys-
tem in which valuable, high-tech synthetics and mineral resources circulate in an endless cycle of
production, recovery and remanufacture
> Products of Service: hybrid products that can be returned to their manufacturer at the end of K
their useful life and safely disassembled into parts that can be reused to create next generation
products.

Our prototype house celebrates Earth’s abundance, promoting and nurturing connections between human and natural
communities. The design looks to natural systems for inspiration and relies on the belief that all design decisions should
support the creation of community and family. Through the house, we strive to create a safe and healthy environment, both
natural and built, that embody the ideas and ideals of the human community of the Lower 9th Ward and New Orleans.
