This course will support students'ability to critically examine
contemporary building design from a sustainable societal
perspective, at the same time as providing means and methods of
action for the future.
Learning outcomes
Knowledge and understanding
For a passing grade the student must
- demonstrate an understanding of how architecture is associated
with the ambition for a sustainable society (from a technical point
of view),
- be able to describe the current systems and solutions which are
applied on the urban scale and within each building,
- be able to describe the availability of different kinds of
energy in relation to the selected energy solution.
Competences and skills
For a passing grade the student must
- demonstrate an ability to visualize, graphically and in text,
the possible choices of system solutions.
- demonstrate an ability to describe the chosen solutions from
their technical aspects.
Judgement and approach
For a passing grade the student must
- demonstrate analytical skills to critically review the practice
and theory of prevailing views of how sustainability issues are
discussed in society and building,
- demonstrate the ability to weigh the different input values in
a specific situation to a sustainable solution.
Contents
The course is complementary to the courses The Fundamentals of
Urban Design and Sustainable Architectural Design. Lectures and
seminars convey knowledge of the city's infrastructure and the
building's technical installations and construction, all from a
sustainability perspective. A final statement in the form of text,
and schematic diagrams of the given problems are performed in
groups. Parallel to the other assignments runs the study of the
literature.
