One of the primary themes driving environmental design thinking in the first decades of the 21st century is the concept of sustainability. Cities, other forms of human settlements, landscapes and larger bio-geographical regions can be made to be more sustainable through various design interventions. This studio explores different ways of making sustainable environments through addressing a range of environmental (e.g. energy, water, materials, waste, ecology and community) and social/cultural factors (e.g. cultural heritage conservation), and interrelationships between factors. A range of studio projects will be offered in each semester, aimed at exploring how selected sites can be made more sustainable through various types of design interventions.”

Having completed this subject it is expected that the student be able to:
- Explore theories related to design approaches and practice that focus on the notion of sustainability through their application to a design case;
