ARK-E3020 - Sustainable Design Principles, Lecture, 6.9.2023-29.11.2023
This course space end date is set to 29.11.2023 Search Courses: ARK-E3020
Topic outline
-
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 four interdependent areas of ongoing research at the department and their impact on future architectural practice: Resource cycles, Design cycles, Performative cycles, and Natural cycles.
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 complements the topical overview provided by the bachelor-level course ARK-C3000 Introduction to Sustainable Design. The contents can be studied further on to the hands-on assessment course ARK-E1022 Sustainability Tools for the Built Environment (spring term).
