建築学修士: 環境とエネルギーの最先端を学ぶ

East London大学(UEL)とthe Centre for Alternative Technology (CAT)との提携により、実習を含む建築学修士課程を開設します。この課程はあらゆるバックグランドや学歴の人々に広く開放しています。

訳注: 以下は翻訳していません。

The course examines the relationship between human beings and their environment both on a global and local scale in particular in the context of buildings. The course ranges from global considerations of energy consumption and climate change to local environment considerations affecting occupant health and well being; choice of materials with environmental constraints; bioclimatic design and designing for energy efficiency. Students are invited to explore this material from a theoretical and practical point of view.

The course combines a theoretical programme run by UEL with workshops run by CAT. The programme runs as a series of eight five day residential events. Seven of these events take place at CAT and one takes place in London. Each will consist of lectures, seminars, workshops and tutorials and covers the subject area described below with both a theoretical and practical content. After each session, students are given reading material which follows on from the teaching event and associated course work. Student support in the form of tutorials, some special lectures and visits are available in London at the times indicated in the Year Timetable or, where appropriate, by e-mail. All course material will be available on the course web page; a Distance Learning option is thus offered in this way.
