Architecture Design Studio: Design 5

Catalog description

48-300 Design 5 explores how architects can integrate ecological knowledge and climate responsibility into building design. The curriculum emphasizes systems thinking to help students understand the interdependence between the built environment and natural ecosystems and propose how architecture can provide a more intentionally entangled infrastructure for living well in future communities. By developing responsive and resilient architectural proposals informed by simulation tools and ethical frameworks our studios will work towards addressing the three challenges posed by CM-A's curriculum advancing toward regenerative relationships between architecture and the natural world.
