According to Witthaus, \u201cCancer diagnoses and cancer-related deaths for firefighters are alarmingly high in comparison to the general population. Part of the reason for this trend is the nature of their job, but what leading research is telling us is that these cancer-causing contaminants from fighting fires are finding their way back to the station \u2014 usually carried in through clothing \u2014 and into the kitchen, common spaces and bunk rooms.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cDesigning an intelligent building, with embedded sensors, contaminant monitoring systems, data visualization and easy to use controls is an exciting challenge, and exactly the sort of program that we, as architects and designers, must be equipped to solve in the 21st century,\u201d said Witthaus.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In instances like these, it becomes critically important to uncover building materials and tools that will not only facilitate, but also accelerate DRAW\u2019s goal of creating impactful architecture, from cradle to grave.
