| Description/Outcomes | This course is a practical application of the environmental design elements that the students studied in the Environmental Studies 1 course. The development of architectural concept, character and language is of particular importance. Course material combined with an understanding of appropriate environmental systems is a must. Environmental awareness and sustainability are studied and addressed throughout the course and within given projects. |
