Course Information

20.111 Sustainable Design Option Studio 1

This course builds upon the foundational principles established in Core Studio 3 on urban design, extending the scope of architectural inquiry into the international realm.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this course, students will be able to:

• Identify issues of sustainable design in relation to socioeconomic, demographic, and cultural trends
• Perform rigorous site analysis and map the site conditions
• Critique a project brief and develop strong, generative sustainable design concepts
• Translate design concepts into meaningful architectural and/or urban propositions
• Create convincing arguments for the design propositions and persuasive visual and tangible evidence

Measurable Outcomes

• Interpret the sustainable parameters and other issues of relevance to the project using drawings and diagrams
• Respond to a specific project brief and specific context with a meaningful design concept
• Produce coherent architectural representations and models at sufficient levels of detail
• Communicate convincingly sustainable design propositions in the form of renderings, drawings, simulations, models
