Sustainable Design
The course conveys necessary theoretical knowledge and the value system, together with practical skills that are needed to design sustainably. Aspects of ecology, energy, economy, society, and culture are considered. Sustainable Design provides specific knowledge on the interaction of the building with its environment. The course deals with large scale boundary conditions influencing architectural design. Concepts of urban and regional design, sustainability and ecology, social equity, and cultural context deploy the complexity of mutual influence and dynamic interaction. The course also touches on the issue of inclusivity centring on gaps in basic infrastructure provision in informal settlements. The course further zooms in to the actual energy management at the household level in informal settlements and their profound impact on the ecology and energy efficiency. Sustainable design measures aimed at mitigating the impacts will be generated.
