Aim
Sustainable development is inherently cross-disciplinary and urgent. Thus, there is a need for integrated and transformative solutions fostering collaborations and shared learning between disciplines such as architecture and civil engineering.
The aim of this course is to provide students with a multi-disciplinary practice-based learning environment, where students are involved in the CDIO methodology (conceive, design, implement, operate) to realize a project into built results. This provides students relevant skills to enter their working life, such as effective communication across disciplinary borders, putting one's knowledge and abilities into a real context, and having the capacity to handle complex problems both in a technical design process as well as in a building process.
The course aims therefore also at developing the necessary skills to engage with local community members to create a built environment that fosters social inclusion and addresses the most important local needs as well as the larger issues we face today. It is important to lift these issues out of theory and into practiced based examples, showing that real change can be simultaneously made and learned.
