USA 1: Detail (a) Highlights Relevant to Sustainable Design:
Build a community of trust.
Here are three examples of rosette hex details. The rosettes are painted two to three feet in diameter on the sides of barns in very vivid colors, and they are intended to deter or ward off evil spirits. These rosettes are one of multiple ways that the Amish build a community of trust where they look out for one another. Sustainability as a concept can go beyond the environment and resource conservation to include community sustainability. The close-knit Amish community has been able to sustain their values for multiple generations and use the resources at hand to maximize the yield from the land. Sustainability includes stewardship and an eye on future generations. From what I saw firsthand and learned about the Amish, they often pass down land from one generation to the next, so caring for their environment has a positive ripple effect for their families and their community.
Author and illustrator: Charlie Szoradi is an architect, inventor, and the CEO of Independence LED Lighting. He writes about many other topics related to the Amish community through his extensive travels around the world.
