SUSTAINABLE LIVING
In an increasingly urbanized world, there is growing international demand for the studies on livable cities. This course work will equip the learner with the knowledge and skills to participate in this rapidly expanding profession and find their position as architects. The students are to explore the relationships of intangible aspects or the content such as cultural, climatic and social situations/user-experiences to tangible aspects such as form, activity and movement pattern. Firstly, the students understand what makes the characteristics of a city for a formal understanding on sustainable aspects. Later, such a characteristic understanding on urban form will be tested for what is still evidenced on the urbanity and content of livability.
