What the program looks like
- The CAS programme teaches how to use local and low–carbon materials to offer a socially, ecologically and economically responsible architecture with an adapted territory approach. It deals with the planning and operation of architectural projects using regenerative materials. It provides students tools and methods to manage projects using earth, bio–based and reused materials with efficiency and creativity.
- Participants will develop competence to conduct complex projects using earth, bio-based and reused materials with realistic and affordable solutions in order to participate to the necessary ecological and social transition in the construction sector.
- The programme enables Swiss and foreign graduates to work as project managers in city technical services, property developer and NGOs, with specific knowledge and skills on regenerative materials.
