In the studio’ Design for Climate: Earth and Sun’, we will investigate earthen and bio-based materials and the sun as a provider of abundant energy for creating place and space.

The knowledge gained from the lecture series of Energy and Climate Systems will be applied in this elective course work. Focusing on specific questions, this knowledge will be deepened. Each topic will be individually discussed with each student. Based on the design of studios or other projects, a building will be examined with the goal of emissions-free building operation.

Knowledge obtained in the lecture series 'Energy- and Climate Systems in Buildings' will be deepened in this elective course work. Focusing on specific questions, students research and develop active and passive building systems concepts. Topics are individually discussed with each student and can be based on own architectural design studio work.

The weeklong workshop will focus on building integrated photovolatics (BiPV). Students will be introduced to theory, methods and tools to support them in developing demonstrator objects in teams in ITA's Robotic Fabrication Lab (RFL). The week program also includes an industry site visit and final presentations.

This Online course provides an introduction to climate-responsive design using the Hive tool and how to apply it in early building design stages. Hive allows architecture and building science students to understand the relation between architectural design, climate, comfort and energy. Hive is a plugin for the 3D modeling environment Rhino and its visual programming interface Grasshopper.

In the studio 'Design for Climate', students practice the consistent integration and articulation of energy, climate and sustainability aspects in a design task. The Design Studio is led by Prof. Arno Schlueter, and jointly supervised by the professorships of Prof. Elli Mosayebi and Prof. Emanuel Christ/Prof. Christoph Gantenbein.
