| Abstract | Committed to the 2010 Imperative, the University of Southern California (USC), School of Architecture, now aims at a carbon neutral environment and eco-literacy in all its courses. Every design studio is now mandated to work towards sustainable design philosophy. The 2010 imperative goals challenge the existing curriculum structure and teaching methods. It demands accommodation for updated and newer design philosophies and processes. This study analyzes and outlines possible insertions in the current curriculum for attaining the sustainability target.; The purpose of this study is to establish a supplementary tool that assists in developing a sustainable approach towards architectural design. A web-based, quick reference guide on sustainability and energy efficiency is proposed for students to assist in the design studios. The website offers categorized data on the basis of scope, design process and the ability of students to assimilate the information. Important definitions, concepts, tools and methods for sustainable design development are compiled in a concise format. Tutorials on sustainability and building performance tools are developed. A detailed database for one studio is developed as a prototype. This thesis analyzes the viability of introducing a good website in the design studios as a regularly updated resource for sustainable architectural design. |
