| Summary |
This book focuses on using plants in spatial design to reduce the infectiousness of viruses in different working and living spaces. It presents strategies of interior and exterior green designs with plants that are likely effective for flu virus tolerance and reduction of infectiousness. The designs are appealing for human interaction and healing, as well as focusing on the reduction and removal of virus infectiousness. The Famulari Theory requires examining plants that are likely effective for virus accumulation based on their leaves with stomata, trichomes, and dense leaf growth, and transpiration rate accumulation of airborne viruses. In addition, this research requires reviewing the quantity and specific types of plants (as well as electronic sources, such as humidifiers and water features) needed to produce effective humidity for plants to decrease the infectiousness or transmission of viruses; the effective distance of people to plants; and light, water, soil, and temperature needs. The book addresses the various greening practices that can be applied to sites to reduce the infectiousness of the airborne flu virus - especially in areas such as train stations, restaurants, rooftops, courtyards, office buildings and work spaces/conference rooms, and the home office - and the ways that businesses owners and residents can integrate these practices to improve the air contaminants with a green solution. Designing green spaces that accumulate, reduce, and remove the infectiousness of viruses involves exploring multiple approaches from different directions to achieve the most effective and ideal design. The six basic approaches include 1. Temperature minimum of 70° Fahrenheit 2. Plants with multiple stomata on the leaf surfaces 3. Plants with multiple clumps of dense leaves with a high transpiration rate 4. Plants with rough leaf surfaces or with trichomes (plant hairs) on the leaf 5. Relative humidity (RH) minimum of 43% or higher 6. Air circulation to direct air with the airborne flu virus to the planted areas Stevie Famulari brings unique insights and inspires the development of green understanding and design solution plans with both short-term and long-term approaches. Illustrations of greening applied to locations help you understand your own design solutions to create them in your site. This book breaks down the misconceptions of the complexity of sustainability and green practices and provides illustrations and site-appropriate green solutions that you can incorporate into your lifestyle for a healthier site. Greening is a lifestyle change, and this guide lets you know how easy it is to transition to the green side to improve your health |
| Notes |
Stevie Famulari, Gds, teaches and designs public art, phytoremediation, storm water management, landscape architecture itstory, and specialty green courses. Her research in design explores the relationship, extension, and application of green designs to other professional fields. Stevie's PhD, ABD research is at RMIT. She received her Master's Degree in Landscape Architecture from SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry with a concentration in Fine Arts from Syracuse University. Her Bachelors of Fine Arts is from New York University. Ms. Famulari's work focuses on greening designs and practices to create healthy spaces for living and working. With the science of phytoremediation applied to the art of landscape design, her works have aesthetic beauty as well as healing properties for both people and the environment. Stevie's projects include: green walls; planted roofs; green remediation designs for interior and exterior applications; water remediation designed to benefit communities near oil fracking sites; designs for the Environmental Protection Agency in Colorado, North Dakota State University, and Ghost Ranch Visitor Center for the Georgia O'Keefe Museum in Abiquiu, New Mexico; development of green design and policies on the UNM campus; flood control design for the Red River in North Dakota and; as well as numerous residential sides nationally. Stevie Famulari's phytoremeditation database of plants that clean the air, soil, and water of contaminants has been used by the EPA, landscape architecture and engineering firms, and government agencies. She has been an investigator for grants which explore remediation design for oil drilling processes, improvements of air quality, remediation design for communities, and interior green applications. Her work in greening designs, practices, research, and education can be seen nationally and internationally through awards, lectures, presentations, and exhibitions at Harvard University Graduate School of Design, Plains Art Museum, San Diego Museum of Natural History, UC Berkeley, International Phytotechnology Society, MECA, UNM, UMN, ASLA, and AIA. Stevie's work has appeared in hundreds of books, magazines, newspapers, and television programs, including Food Network Challenges & Specials, NBC Evening News, Oakland Tribune, World Entertainment News Network, The Oprah Winfrey Show, Travel Channel, Good Morning America, CBS Early Morning News, Washington Post, The Post Standard, Trust for Public Land, Boston Herald, Berkeley Daily Planet, NY Village Voice, Santa Fe Reporter, and Star Tribune. Ms. Famulari has been a Professor of Landscape Architecture for a decade, as well as a director, a green artist, an author, and a researcher. She is currently a professor at Farmingdale State College, SUNY, in the Department of Urban Horticulture and Design. She has also worked as a Professor in the Department of Landscape Architecture at North Dakota State University |
