Transfers ToCSUDescriptionAs the third course in a four architectural design studio series, this course explores sustainable and ecological practices for site planning and building performance. Whereas the emphasis of earlier design studios is on artistic expression of building design, this studio will focus on the technological side of architecture. It will cover the adaptation with natural systems, synthesis of regulatory frameworks, ecological enhancements and regional design. Topics such as passive energy design, natural daylighting, solar and wind capture, stormwater retention systems as well as other ecologically supportive methodologies.
