本课程将为您提供对建筑与生态之间关系的批判性理解。您将从理论的角度看这两者。在学习的前三个月中，将通过格拉斯哥Strathclyde的教学模块来完成。这种关系的实际演示将通过亚利桑那州城市实验室Arcosanti的项目工作进行。Pas Soleri博士于1964年成立的Cosanti基金会是一家基于教育的建筑和城市设计非营利组织，位于美国亚利桑那州的斯科茨代尔。基金会在1970年建立了享誉世界的Arcosanti项目，作为一个城市实验室，其基础是基于Soleri在生态建筑方面的工作以及他对未来城市设计的建
This course will provide you with a critical understanding of the relationship between architecture and ecology, looking at both from a theoretical perspective. This will be done by instructional modules taken at Strathclyde in Glasgow during the first three months of study. The practical demonstration of this relationship will be through project work at the urban laboratory Arcosanti in Arizona. The Cosanti Foundation, established by Dr Paolo Soleri in 1964, is an education-based architecture and urban design not-for-profit organisation located in Scottsdale, Arizona, USA. The Foundation established the world-renowned Arcosanti project in 1970 as an urban laboratory focused on researching alternatives to urban sprawl, based on Soleri's work on ecological architecture, and his proposals for the design of future cities. This is a unique opportunity to study your Masters degree while living and working at Arcosanti, helping to research, design and construct an alternative to urban sprawl, joining thousands of people who, since Arcosanti's launch in 1970, have already been part of ''one of the most important urban experiments in our lifetime'' (Newsweek).
