ARCH 4 CHANGE
ARCH4CHANGE seeks to co-create an architectural ‘climate emergency’ curriculum that is fit for the new decade, in which society faces unprecedented challenges, related to mitigating and buffering the effects of the climate crisis, underpinning the transition towards a carbon neutral society. It is a project which seeks to change how we think about and teach Sustainable Architecture.
It will do this by freely sharing environmental and climatic knowledge, skills, methods, tools and approaches that are necessary for architecture students and their educators.
- WORKING TOWARDS A CARBON NEUTRAL SOCIETY: to increase student and educator knowledge about responding to climate change, going beyond basic and fragmented sustainability knowledge in architecture.
- TACKLING SKILLS GAPS for (and with) both architecture students and teachers through a radically changed architecture curriculum, and co-developing a teacher training toolkit.
- NEW AND INNOVATIVE DIGITAL PEDAGOGIES and collaborative ways of digital learning to strengthen and change teaching and learning approaches.
The project aims to create an architectural climate emergency curriculum and by freely sharing the environmental and climatic knowledge, skills, methods and tools that are necessary for architecture students and their educators. In June 2022 the project partners will meet in TU Dublin for a week to share teaching practices and pedagogies and pilot the Teacher Training Toolkit.
The project is an Erasmus + funded partnership between the following universities:
- Tampere University (Finland)
- Aarhus University (Denmark)
- Tallin University of Technology (Estonia)
- University of Bologna (Italy)
- TU Dublin (Ireland).
