本課程的重點在於為學生在當前環境中以必要的工具來練習重要的建築物。使他們熟悉目前所使用的材料利用到那些重要的實例中，及其與組裝相關的特性。本課程還將向學生介紹一些未經測試，但相信在不久將來會被使用的材料。最後，藉由瞭解那些在建築領域中想法的進展，向學生提出挑戰，讓學生重新定義對可靠或永續的建築設計的認識。
This course will focus on providing students with the tools needed to practice responsible architecture in a contemporary context. It will familiarize students with the materials currently used in responsible practice, as well as the material properties most relevant to assembly. The course will also introduce students to materials that are untested but hold promise for future usage. Finally, the course will challenge students to refine their understanding of responsible or sustainable design practice by looking at the evolution of those ideas within the field of architecture.
