This programme gives you skills in creating sustainable strategies through design. The programme is delivered in a series of studio design projects supplemented with workshops and seminars on aspects of sustainable design. There is an opportunity to study environmental simulation techniques and discover how these can influence wider issues in the built environment. We address the relationship of design in the built environment to contemporary sustainable agendas and engage in cultural and professional debates that increasingly influence the production of architecture. Graduates of this programme will have knowledge of the social, economic and legislative forces that are driving contemporary, sustainable agendas, and understanding of such agendas in relation to architectural cultures; an ability to critically assess sustainability as a cultural, economic and environmental phenomenon; the ability to interrogate site, programme and context in relation to the production of sustainable construction, engineering and architectural strategies; the acquisition of trans-disciplinary skills in articulation of sustainable strategies in related industry sectors.
