AC 2010-493: INTEGRATING SUSTAINABILITY INTO STUDIO DESIGNCURRICULUMDaniel Davis, University of Hartford Page 15.774.1© American Society for Engineering Education, 2010 INTEGRATING SUSTAINABILITY INTO STUDIO DESIGN CLASS CURRICULUMAbstractAt the University of Hartford, we have established an architectural program founded onintegration. Architecture by its very nature is connected to other disciplines, yet architecturaleducation is often criticized for a lack of integration in the curriculum. By increasing theawareness of the interrelationship between different areas of study, we are attempting to strike anew and more effective

It does matter that the drawings should present the designers’personality and immediate response of solving the problem. Mechanically created images tend toproject a sense of sterility, of surreal environments devoid of the messiness of real-life experience,absent all evidence of human spirit or soul and passion (Sorenson, 2007). Thus, keeping freehandsketching in the schematic design phase and representing the
