Goals and fullfilment of goals

The overall purpose of the course is to provide all students, regardless of their subsequent choice of master programme and design studios, with a foundation and an ability to creatively and critically consider and reflect on questions related to the planning, design and management of the built environment within a context of sustainable development. To independently seek knowledge and information from different sources, as well as to reflect upon the implications of the vision of sustainable development in relation to architecture and planning, constitute important parts of the course.

The purpose is, moreover
- to provide an orientation and an understanding of different perspectives on sustainable development
- to present different approaches to the implementation of the call for sustainable development within the planning, design and management of the built environment at different levels (global–,,local) and in different settings
- to encourage critical reflection regarding what the notion sustainable development entails for the planning, design and management of the built environment and for professional practices within these fields.

- too many similar lectures the first week. i would appretiate more seminars, gruop assignments or similar, more intereaction with the orher students.» (rather bad)
- I dont think it was enough time within the schedule for reading the literature.» (rather bad)
- Samtal mellan elever saknades, mest pga avsaknad av lokaler att "hänga" i. Vissa föreläsningar handlade delvis om samma saker.» (rather good)
- Quite short time to read before the first seminar.» (rather good)
- course assignment needs improvement, perhaps including a design element. Variety of media very helpful, study trips were a great compliment to lectures. » (rather good)
- It would be interseting to have more possibilities to work in groups and share ideas.» (rather good)
- The course was very well designed. However, I think there are too many and too long breaks (during the lectures and between them). Less breaks could be more time for us to work on our assignment for example!» (very good)
- It was very dinamic, I appreciate that, It was very different from my country. I found the seminars quite interesting.» (very good)
- there could be less coffee breaks » (very good)

- not sure what this question means» (No opinion)
- some of the study visits could be revised in the future since they didnt bring anything new than what we already knew. they put the ambition level rather low on what can be done in terms of sustainable building. if there is no good buildings nearby to visit, i would almost prefer to see a film or hear a lecture of a building somewhere else...something that can serve as an inspiration more than hamnhuset etc could.» (Very little)
- The visit of Hamnhuset could have been less about their organisation» (Rather little)
- the study visit I find very educational, they could be even longer, for example Ecocentrum» (Very big)

- not sure what this question means, but literature could have been better associated with the lectures. At my previous university, there was usually a direct correlation between a specific lecture and a specific reading assignment. I think this strategy is helpful, if not necessary for may subjects, including SD. » (No opinion)
- too much information/text to read for the first seminar» (Rather big)

- I feel no progress in seminars,probably because we are too free to talk but concentrate on a specific question.» (Very little)
- good way of practicing your opinion and meeting other viewpionts from other countries...» (Rather big)

- Additional handouts were distributed poorly in class. Also need a new system for signing in, or no attendance sheet at all. Course syllabus and packets were not well designed (primarily in that there was too much text and important information was difficult to pick out) » (Rather bad)
- To much of the information where handed out more than one time (a lot of paper). More of it could just be put on the course homepage so that one could choose to print it or not.» (Rather well)
- Scedules could be out in the course homepage earlier.» (Rather well)

- Very interesting course, and well organized!!!» (Very good)
- It is good that everyone gets a common background / base for the rest of the master studies.» (Very good)
- Kursen var jättebra förutom kritiken. Jag var i Pål Castells grupp. Där hade den ena kritikern inte förberett sig alls, och den andra kritikern hade bara tittat väldigt kort på plancherna, så vår kritik handlade mer om presentationsteknik på plancherna än om deras egentliga innehåll. Dessutom trodde jag att den skrivna uppgiften var viktigast och att plancherna skulle ses som ett stöd för presentationen. Det verkade som om många elever hade tolkat uppgiften på det sättet, så om det inte var meningen borde uppgiften formuleras annorlunda i kursprogrammet. Dessutom borde kritikerna varit betydligt bättre förberedda och kommenterat det vi sade när vi presenterade istället för hur planchen såg ut. Det kändes otroligt dåligt att sitta brevid utbytesstudenterna när våra kritiker kommenterade vårt resultat av uppgiften på ett så dåligt sätt.» (Very good)
- I"ve learned so much about sustainable development ! Now I know that in France we really don"t know so much about...» (Very good)
- I think it is an important course! » (Very good)
- The organisation of the course was very good and the schedule was very clear from the beginning and throughout the course.» (Very good)

12. What should be preserved for next year?

- The broad prespective that is offered.»
- The study visit»
- The good quality lectures»
- the films»
- Definitely the seminars and course assignment presentations.»
- films and visits»
- the assignment and the buffet»
- Study vistis absolutely, films and relevant lectures.»
- Most of the course is good»
- study visits, movies, seminars in smaller groups, that give the opportunity to talk to other students»
- mix of lectures,study visits, seminars and fims»
- I really enjoyed a lot the films and K Myttenaere"s lecture.»
- Filmerna och de flesta föreläsningarna.»
- The broad range of lectures was very useful to understanding Sustainable Development as a whole. »
- I think it was a very good course, very different from the others architecture courses and I think that is excellent the way it is.»
- the guests»
- THe structure of the course. »
- I think almost all the course has been quite interesting and complete... maybe somem lectures were not as important as others, but it is also great to have parallel knowledge about the subject»
- the course itself and the parts that spoke about the possibilys within sustainable design (and the necessity).»
- The great organisation! The really interesting lectures, the films, the visits (may be more visits?)»
- The big variety of different perspectives of sustainable development.»
- The diversity of the courses and points of view about the sustanaible development.»
- My favourites were The Garbage Warrior, Christer Nordström"s lecture and the seminars (includig the texts). And the critics the final day was very intresting, Sara Peny was great!»
- the films were all very interesting»
- seminars and lectures above all»
- Everything"s pretty good ( can be preserved everything , because dont know other examples of this course ti compare with )»

13. What should be changed for next year?

- I think it would be important to focus more on solutions and examples that pushing the limits more.»
- perhaps just one seminar?»
- morning classes»
- I"d really appreciate if there was a student forum for the course (sth like at http://www.circ.chalmers.se/forums/) where anyone can post weblinks, questions or topics for discussion among students etc. At the time being people exchange such informations only within small groups.»
- neither»
- some lectures wern"t that good, many that were saying the same thing, specially in the first week. a little too much text for the first seminar. i miss oppurtunities, other then the seminars, to get to know the fellow students.»
- Some lectures seems not closely related to the course.They should be replaced.»
- Meddela de salar vi senare ska sitta i så att man får lokaler att träffas på utanför föreläsningarna.»
- Some ppt are in swidish, international students find it difficult to understand»
- maybe sometimes lectures were too long, so it was hard to concentrate at the end of the day »
- mor kinds of dicussions»
- Maybe les breaks!»
- Information till kritikerna om hur kritiken skulle gå till. (Eller hade eleverna i vår grupp uppfattat uppgiften så fel?)»
- More clearly defined course assignment question OR keep the question and extend the length of the paper. Course could have been more rigorous.»
- Maybe the study visits could be to another places or maybe to do some practices about sustainability.»
- the practical lectures can be included»
- There was a lack of time for debating and talking in the assignment presentation. There is no need of 2 hours before starting at 10:30 (I think), 9:30 it"s ok. (one hour to look on the others assignment)»
- In my opinion, it is a good first step for the master of sustainability, perhaps not for the architecture one. There could be added some practical exercises which could complement well the course assigment.»
- maybe the possibility to have more interaction between students because there is a lot of lectures and just two seminars so it"s not so easy to speak with other student. Maybe we could have more discussions in groups or the assignment could be organised as a debate between two or more student where each could developpe a vision in his part of the assignment so it still a personal writting but it integrate more discussion with other persons... »
- the whole thing about passivehouses is a bit onesided and i would like to have heard more possibilities of sustainable design.»
- May be less lectures compared to the time for dicussion and sharing ideas.»
- There were things that were repeated over and over again, so one change could be that the lecturers are more informed about what others already have said/showed. »
- For next year, it would be better to take less breaks during the day.»
- As time passes, there will be new events and discoveries all the time, and it"s important that the course stays updated. But as it was rather up-to-date this fall I"m sure it will be the following years as well.»
- Many lectures were about the same things, so there was too much repetition. The texts for seminars could be less, so that we would have more time to really understand the texts. Now there was too little time to read all so at a lot of them I only had a quick overview.»
- sometimes it was a little bit hard to follow all the lectures of the day, maybe, I dont know very well how, but it would be better to make them more active, people should participate more. I would like more open debates maybe.»
- Everything"s pretty good ( can be preserved everything , because dont know other examples of this course ti compare with )»

14. Other comments

- I think that the course have been really good, but I´,m a bit dissatisfied with the cross-criticts. I think that the teacher or critic should be a bit prepared not just arrive one minute ahead. I felt the I did not get out much from that day. »
- the idea of the course is very good, beacuse it makes you more aware of problems that we need to face »
- I can advise the film "We feed the world". It"s much about the relationship between environment and economy»
- thank you very much for this very interesting and very well organized course!»
- It would be nice to have more oppertunities to get to know each other. A studio to work in maybe. I think this is specially important for the exchange students that are new at the school.»
- Just one person read the course assignment, and in our group we did not get very good feedback, just on the poster presentation. I was in the group with Pål Castell and Kristina Nilsson.»
- I loved the course. Thank you very much!»
- I like the course. Now, I really look forward to see how are we doing for the stuido project. Thanks.»
- i understand that because lack of staff etc makes it impossible for more feedback of presentation and report. however, it would have been nice to get some knowledge on how the work was received. »
- Thanks!»
- It is just a thought, but sometimes I didnt like the way sustainability was link to a kind of architecture (cheap, looking like old houses and with green visions...). Sometimes I had the feelings that this way of building would not be pssible to build everwhere, here in sweden yes because you have many resources and money. I would be very dissapointed if sustainability is linked only to a determined aesthetic. I like when we were told about the technical and social matters.»
