Course overview
Develop practical expertise in the environmental design of buildings and their surroundings in the context of a changing climate. You’ll get hands-on experience using computer environmental modelling software and explore pioneering developments in sustainable architecture.
Introduction
Bringing together graduates and professionals from a range of backgrounds, this programme will enhance your knowledge of environmentally friendly and sustainable building design.
We’ll immerse you in the climate-sensitive design of buildings and urban landscapes and hone your skills in environmental assessment. You’ll explore the evolution of the environmental design of architecture and discover how to use the latest computer environmental modelling software.
Developing skills in the application of this software, you’ll start to design buildings and their surroundings that are energy-efficient and sustainable. Your learning will be fully informed by the scientific study of climate change and key responses such as net zero carbon design.
A comprehensive grounding in research methods will complement your environmental design skills. You’ll be taught by academic experts with highly rated international research in history and theory, environment and process, urban design, conservation and innovative technologies.
There is the additional opportunity to tailor the course to your own interests and further tap into the research expertise of the programme team. Examine key architectural concepts, hone your urban design skills, enhance your knowledge of low energy/low carbon building design, or learn additional specialised modelling tools and techniques.
Who is this course for?
