It allows students to acquire a good grounding in the basic principles of sustainability and the future of sustainable technology. It also provides a valuable insight in the relationship between the physical and cultural context of architecture. Peter Smith believes that there is convincing evidence that climatic changes are occurring and that therefore a new approach to architecture is needed. In this study he argues for the profession to make minimum environmental demands.
