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 settlement, 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 urban environments through consideration of a range of environmental (e.g. energy, water, materials, waste, ecology) and social/cultural factors (e.g. environment/behaviour, cultural heritage conservation). Each semester a selection of studio projects are offered, each with their own sites, design briefs and studio leaders with the aim if allowing students to explore how selected sites can be made more sustainable through various forms of design intervention.
Note: Students may seek approval to replace ABPL90072 Landscape Studio 5: Sustainable Urbanism with ABPL90430 Design with Country: Resilience Studio
