The Carbon Neutral Design Project:
Carbon Neutral Teaching: Curriculum Materials Development
Edna Shaviv and Abraham Yezioro
Faculty of Architecture and Town Planning | Technion - Israel Institute of Technology

Combined “Solar Architecture” studio and theory courses - fourth year undergraduate elective distribution

Pedagogical Overview, Philosophy and Strategies

Climate and Form

Design Performance Objective

Building Section

Exploring natural and man made forces on the building form.

Student: name

 

climate map

The climate of instruction is HOT-ARID. The principles of the projects could be applied to any climate zone, and many are specifically designed to address multiple climate types.

Philosophy

It is

The course and projects will respond to a range of NAAB Student Performance Criteria, the most significant of which are:

#15. Sustainable Design
Understanding of the principles of sustainability in making architecture and urban design decisions that conserve natural and built resources, including culturally important buildings and sites, and in the creation of healthful buildings and communities

#17: Site Conditions
Ability to respond to natural and built site characteristics in the development of a program and the design of a project

#19: Environmental Systems
Understanding of the basic principles and appropriate application and performance of environmental systems, including acoustical, lighting, and climate modification systems, and energy use, integrated with the building envelope

#21: Building Envelope Systems
Understanding of the basic principles and appropriate application and performance of building envelope materials and assemblies

#28: Comprehensive Design
Ability to produce a comprehensive architectural project based on a building program and site that includes development of programmed spaces demonstrating an understanding of structural and environmental systems, building envelope systems, life-safety provisions, wall sections and building assemblies and the principles of sustainability (to a more limited degree given the beginning design nature of the course projects)
