Topic outline

  • Sustainable Design Principles

    Not available unless: You belong to L01 (SISU)

    The course Sustainable Design Principles provides a theoretical framework into the systemic interdependencies between the built and the natural environment with focus on the multitude interactions between urbanization, climate and biodiversity. Based on a systemic framework the course focuses on three interdependent areas of ongoing research at the department and their impact on future architectural practice: Resource Cycle, Computational Cycle, and Natural Cycle.

    The course consists of lectures and a number of small assignments that are used for reflecting the lectures topics into various scales and aspects of architecture, landscape architecture and interior architecture. The students are also introduced to recent research findings as well as examples from architecture or other relevant fields of arts, design, and technology.

    The course a is linked to the hands-on course ARK-E4018 Sustainability Tools for the Built Environment and complements the topical overview provided by the bachelor-level course ARK-C3000 Introduction to Sustainable Design.

    Note: Lectures in period I will be arranged online only, due to inavailability of sufficient lecture halls. We will inform as soon as it will be possible to return to campus sessions.
