Building Design Energy Performance and Climate-Responsive Architecture - Arizona State University at the Tempe Campus

Building Design Energy Performance and Climate-Responsive Architecture from Arizona State University at the Tempe Campus is a Campus Master Architecture And Related Services degree that prepares you for a Architecture career. The Master of Science in Building Design program is dedicated to the development of new knowledge useful to the arts and sciences of building design and to the integration of that knowledge into the building design process. The Master of Science degree is an advanced post-professional degree for applicants who have completed an accredited professional degree program in architecture (a five-year BArch or six-year MArch degree). The MS in Building Science is not accredited, and therefore, it is not intended to serve as a first professional degree in architecture. The program is structured to educate a new generation of scholars and practitioners who will bring appropriate technology and management techniques to the building and rebuilding of humane and supportable environments. Students who are interested in pursuing further academic studies are encouraged to apply to the interdisciplinary PhD program in Environmental Design and Planning offered by the college after completion of the MS program. Concentration is available in energy performance and climate-responsive architecture . The program provides advanced study at the post-professional level for architects. The goal of the program is to develop knowledge useful to the arts and sciences of building design and the integration of that knowledge into the design process. Within this context, the program emphasizes (1) the ecological importance of energy-conscious design and construction, as well as the high social value placed on buildings in which natural forces and systems are utilized rather than suppressed, and (2) the development of research, information systems, and management processes suited to the planning and design of complex buildings in urban settings. The curriculum for concentration includes a research methods core, required courses, and in some cases, additional elective course work as approved and directed by the supervisory committee. Typically a student needs at least four semesters of course work and work on their thesis to successfully complete this degree program. It is recommended that applicants have at least one year of professional employment or comparable field/research experience in building design in addition to their academic experiences.
