Architecture: Environmental Equity Design (Stackable Certificate)
The Architecture: Environmental Equity Design stackable graduate certificate accommodates a growing interest in environmental equity design among designers and diverse professionals to develop tools that can engage and foster design as a collaborative effort grounded in public interest design methodologies. As a result, program participants will not only gain expertise in environmental equity design, they will become better equipped to address the world’s most pressing concerns regarding social, economic, and environmental issues of the built environment.
As part of this program, students will engage in an off-campus design-research problem, working directly with an approved stakeholder in the region; take on the roles of both citizen and designer, organizing and attending stakeholder meetings, while conducting field-research outside of the classroom setting; and submit a scholarly paper reflecting on lessons learned during their research.
