Course description
This course examines the ways in which built environment design can mitigate and adapt to the climate and biodiversity crisis. Students will develop an integrated understanding of the concepts required to design buildings that deliver sustainable outcomes at multiple scales, from site to system. Learning activities will build knowledge of climate fundamentals, skills in energy and carbon modelling, critically evaluate systemic conditions and structures, and imagine sustainable, design-led futures.
