A Pedagogical Approach to Incorporating the Concept of Sustainability into Design-to-Physical-Construction Teaching in Introductory Architectural Design Courses: A Case Study on a Bamboo Construction Project

Abstract

Sustainable architectural education is offered in colleges and universities all over the world. Studies have emphasized the importance of sustainable architectural education in introductory courses of architecture major programs, but methods and strategies for teaching sustainable architecture at lower levels are scarce. This study focuses on the design-to-physical-construction process and creates a teaching framework that incorporates the concept of sustainable development from the perspectives of sustainable economy, environment and society. Based on the teaching method of learning through the design-to-physical-construction process and referring to the grounded theory, a case study on a bamboo construction project was conducted to explore approaches and strategies of sustainable architectural education in introductory courses. Results reveal that five systems, including the system of sustainable development, consist of a framework that illustrated the teaching effects. Based on the framework, we discovered five factors that should be considered in incorporating the concept of sustainable development into architectural design teaching, including the necessity of conducting sustainable architectural education in introductory courses. This study helps explore the potential role sustainability plays in incorporating interdisciplinary knowledge, connecting specialized knowledge across different program levels, and motivating student learning. It also provides a reference for the practice of sustainable architectural education.

“…Konsep yang ditemukan melalui rangkaian analisis data ini digunakan peneliti sebagai proses untuk memandu pengambilan data kembali. Terdapat tiga tahap pengkodean yang dilakukan secara berturut-turut untuk menganalisis data pada penelitian ini, diantaranya adalah Open Coding, axial coding, dan selective coding (Hung et al, 2021;Xiang et al, 2021;Zhou et al, 2021). Dalam proses analisis data, peneliti mengawali dengan pembuatan open coding, yaitu mengkodekan data-data untuk Menyusun tema-tema atau kategori-kategori tertentu.…”

Design of a Teaching-Learning Sequence and Its Effect on Self-Efficacy and Perceptions of Prospective Chemistry Teacher Students: An Educational Reconstruction Study of Fire-Retardant Bamboo

“…Bamboo is used in a variety of applications, including construction, primary material for furniture and musical instruments, as well as decorative material in textiles, paper, and handicrafts (Akinlabi et al, 2017). Previous research has also used bamboo as a construction material in sustainable architectural education (Xiang et al, 2021). Thus, this learning helps exploring sustainability's potential role in incorporating interdisciplinary knowledge, connecting specialised knowledge across different program levels, and motivating student learning.…”
