Adapting education to a changing climate: preparing architecture students for climate-resilient design
Abstract
In this article, the authors explore the connection between climate change and the fields of architecture and urban planning. With the increasing frequency of flooding and extreme weather events, the built environment is confronting challenges in terms of sustainability and resilience. To meet these problems, it is necessary to prepare various specialists to assume responsibility for making future decisions. The authors of this article examine whether students in the Faculty of Architecture at Gdańsk University of Technology, Poland, are well-prepared for the posed challenges. For that purpose, a survey was undertaken to gather the students’ viewpoints on the roles of architecture and urban planning in addressing climate change and their expectations concerning the coverage of this topic in their studies. The authors also analyse the methods used in the architectural education that facilitate an understanding of the interaction between climate change and the evolving urban landscape. Furthermore, they indicate the issues that should be incorporated into the curriculum to enhance students’ ability to create under changing climatic conditions.
