MA in Architecture Sustainable Design at University College For The Creative Arts
Today architecture faces the challenge of dramatic ecological change. By examining relationships between environmental contexts and architecture, the needs of its inhabitants and the resources required to achieve it, this course enables students to develop methodologies, design tools and approaches that facilitate the identification, development and delivery of sustainable design solutions.
The MA Architecture: Sustainable Design understands buildings as living entities, where material cycles are defined and implemented to address reductions in both depletion rates of natural resources and waste production.
By focusing on the challenges and opportunities facing sustainable design as an integral part of the architectural profession, the course enables students to develop a comprehensive understanding of the discipline. Areas of study include the current national and global challenges reduce the environmental impact of the built environment, opportunities offered by novel uses of existing and emerging materials and construction forms.
The MA Architecture: Sustainable Design is taught through the School of Architecture at UCA Canterbury; a modern, progressive design environment established more than fifty years ago.
