“…But, in order to be able to "exploit" the real potential of the context, the students have to include their analytical skill to this sensibility (Watson, 2014). Understanding about ecology as the study of interrelated system itself has the potential to be an analytical tool to unfold complex system and issues (Saginatari & Atmodiwirjo, 2018). Therefore, in this learning stage the students were expected to use both their sensory and their analytical skills to build their ecological understanding in the natural site context.…”

Architecture, both in the practice and the education, is moving toward a higher environmental awareness. It is shown from the inclusion of ecology as one of the core subject in the curriculum. But, ecology is dominantly viewed and learned through a scientific and qualitative approach rather than a creative design methodology. This paper argues that ecology always has a potential to become the basis of creative design process. There are three key aspects in learning ecology in architecture: learning ecology as reading complexity, as understanding dynamicity, and as building up awareness of our position as designers. These key learning aspects are enabled by the nature of architectural design studio as educational environment. This paper examines the key aspects of ecological learning within one of the design studio in Universitas Indonesia. The study concludes that there is a relationship between the learning stages of the design project and the ecological understanding of the students.

“…Learning ecology particularly gives us a better perspective towards the built environment as it "...has potential to be an analytical tool, as ecology comprises relation and interaction in the complexity of systemic nature…" [3]. However, there is a question of how and in what way we can use ecology as an analytical tool since the system involves various aspects to it.…”

This paper discusses the importance of understanding the ecology as part of architectural education. Rather than focusing on the heat phenomenon as frequently researched, this paper explores the opposite ideas by identifying the concept of cool pocket and designing it as a mean for heat mitigation in a tropical built environment. Recent researches show that providing a microclimate that responds human thermal comfort can contribute to the building energy performance and at the same time promote activities in outdoor space. The relation and interaction among various microclimate factors with the land, water body, arrangement of vegetations, building’s geometry and configurations, create different scenarios of the thermal condition, including possible cool pocket. Using air temperature and wind as indicators, possibilities of cool pocket will be explored and investigated through CFD Simulation. The result shows the importance of ecological understanding as part of designing cool pocket in a tropical context in a learning process and scenario-based simulation in developing design strategies.
