The importance and significance of the built environment cannot be over-stressed.
A living or working space is not just composed of walls protecting us
against weather and other dangers; it is a complex entity affecting
all our socioJogical and psychological
needs. The search for ideal living and working environment is never
complete. It is constantly changing and developing with the times and
is also rooted deep in our culture and history. The need to understand
and fully appreciate the socio-cultural context of the buildings, design
is fundamental to the solutions we seek. The use of modern building
materials and the search for new sources and designs is vital. The course
we offer focuses on the research and understanding of our own way of
living and finding viable, creative and modern cost-effective solutions
to the problems posed by the geographic and cultural realities of our
land.
