Course Description
This course focuses on the creation of more sustainable and potentially regenerative domestic architecture, building upon and adding to the students' background knowledge. Students explore issues related to the built environment and sustainability, while learning a variety of practical techniques to address such issues in the design and making of buildings, environments, and landscapes. Students are encouraged to take a critical thinking approach to environmental issues that are relevant to a built environment and design context, and to recognize the inherent links with social issues. This is important because of the impact our professions have on these issues and the potential role we have in contributing to positive change.
