Detailed Course Content

The Environmental Design is a part of Technology of Architecture that explores the relations between the building process and the environment transformations. To do this is necessary to know the characteristics of eco-systems.

An "ecological approach" to the project doesn't limit it to the safeguard of the resources but curtains to optimize a philosophy of intervention that wants to make to cohabit the social and economic development with the maintenance of the biodiversities and the maintenance of the natural trials.
