Course Description

The course is an active, on-site study of Architecture, Design, and Planning with an emphasis on sustainable environmental practices. Areas to be studied will be optimized based on the offered location site and will include a study of architectural design, planning and development patterns, analysis of resources, sustainable building techniques, sustainable lifestyle practices and culture, and may include design and/or construction of an improvement project. Students will participate in project-based learning opportunities and community service (where possible) and a multi-night field trip or travel abroad will be required.
