This new course encompasses the ‘artistic’ and the ‘scientific’ to create a new generation of architects who are not only environmentally aware, but able to quantify the environmental and energy impact of their designs.
You will develop your creative environmental design, technical and analytical skills, as well as your critical thinking and awareness of the wider architectural context. This course will give you skills which can be used both in architectural practice and in environmental design consultancy.
Half your time on the course will be spent on studio-based design activities and half on climatic, historical, cultural, socio-economic and professional studies. All modules have a strong interdisciplinary approach that highlights the added value environmental architects bring to the building industry and to society.
The course will be put forward for prescription by the ARB, and validation by the RIBA (Part I). This would mean that on completion of this course you will have completed RIBA Part I.
