Architectural design begins with a desire to fulfill a client’s specific needs. But what if the design also needs to address the aspirations of an entire civilization? Today, the challenges of managing resources, population growth, changing climate, and economic disparity all impact the purpose of architecture.
Technological advances bring increased power to the design process, and contemporary architects are viewing the world through a wider lens than ever before.
They want to contribute real and meaningful solutions that improve the lives of those touched by their work while ensuring the long-term stability of the environment.
Learning Objectives
