This innovative programme explores a new area of intellectual enquiry. Increasingly, environmental legislation is being passed by governments as a result of a major shift in attitude towards the environment, and the new ways in which we operate upon it. There is, therefore, as great a need at the start of the 21st century to consider the position of architecture as there was at the beginning of the 20th century.
The programme addresses new architectural issues and a range of responses which will enable you to apply such thinking to your own practice. It is intended that you will become fellow researchers rather than recipients of an established method and content.
