COURSE INTENT AND GOALS:
“Introduction to Sustainable Design ”
introduces the past, present and future of sustainable
design. How can we design more
sustainable and healthy environments today?
Students will study global environmental issues and their impact on the
design process, including the history, principles and theories of
sustainability; life-cycle design practices; relevant green design terminology.
Students successfully
completing Introduction to Sustainable Design will be able to:
·
Accurately identify and describe
principles and theories of sustainability using effective research
methodologies.
·
Demonstrate an understanding of global
environmental issues by identifying the ways in which sustainable design
practices can help preserve the global ecosystem.
·
Demonstrate an understanding of the
relationship between built-environment and ecological systems by identifying
ways in which these systems inform and influence each other during the design
process.
