Hello,
I am a 3rd year Building Surveying student, I have been thinking about my dissertation and have found a topic that I find interesting. I was wondering whether it would be suitable to write about the London 2012 Olympic games and the current issues regarding whether the buildings are sustainable and enviromentaly friendly from a built enviroment perspective, looking into the methods and materials used in this project, in addition to the regeneration of certain areas. I thought I might also be able to compare sustainablity of the London buildings to those from previous Olympic games, eg. Beijing. I’m not sure what the best angle to approach the topic would be, how to formulate a specific research question about it, or even if it is a good topic for a dissertation for a building surveying student? Any ideas or advice would be really helpful.
Many thanks,
Ben
