Integrated Design in Sustainable Architectural Education

Abstract

Green buildings and sustainable design have become the points architects are concerned about. At the same time, a lack of collaboration with other design disciplines is a problem encountered by many architecture designers. In such a situation, some architects promote a method of integrated design, which can fix the gap in interdisciplinary collaboration in the process of construction and operation of building. In this article, the authors introduced the integrated design and analyzed it in architectural education as well as provide case studies to offer specific evidence.
