ARCHITECTURE & ENVIRONMENT
The module introduces the components of environmental conditions and issues. It focuses on human intervention affecting the environment both positively and negatively and the relationship of buildings with the natural system. We will be introduced to basic environmental awareness through lectures and discussions. Additionally the module introduces students to the basic elements of climate and their influences on architecture, which aims to facilitate students to create acceptable environmentally conscious and comfortable building designs.
In this module, I have learnt that architecture does not only provide aesthetic value and function, it also needs to be able to make its environment a better place. Sustainability is very important in current era as the pollution towards earth has risen greatly. In my future design, I will try my best to incorporate sustainability methods in my design so that it has a positive impact towards human and the earth. Indeed, there is still a lot of research to be done regarding sustainability. This is a great start.
