The approach for this Postgraduate Certificate is to create a multi-disciplinary, “hands-on,” community-oriented environment for learning, which will involve a holistic design curriculum, delivered by faculty with specific expertise. This course of study will be broad based in its approach, breaking down the boundaries between the more established professional disciplines of architecture, urban, landscape, planning, interior, graphic, and industrial design.
The Postgraduate Certificate in Sustainability in Design is patterned as a studio-based program offering, with a core of project-based sustainability studios, supplemented by studio-seminar and liberal studies offerings that work together to provide a depth of knowledge in this area. There are additional optional courses that provide alternate threads that integrate to other areas of curriculum, programs and practice that complete the course credit requirements for the Certificate and allow students to pursue more specific areas of interest.
