Also included are numerous links to related areas and to the EASE Project participants themselves. www.bsu.edu/cap/ease/ California State Polytechnic University The John T. Lyle Center for Regenerative Studies 4105 West University Drive Pomona, CA 91768 phone: (909) 869-5155. crs@csupomona.edu The John T. Lyle Center for Regenerative Studies (The Lyle Center) is an interdisciplinary university-based setting for education, demonstration and research in regenerative and sustainable systems. Students from all disciplines on campus can participate in courses and a community of up to 20 residents live on the site working with regenerative systems as part of their daily lives. The comprehensive design of the 16 acre site provides a living laboratory for faculty, students and visitors to study passive solar designed buildings, renewable energy capture, water recycling, nutrient cycling, food growing systems, aquaculture, native habitat and human communities. All of these have implications for human society. www.csupomona.edu/ crs/ Carnegie Mellon University School of Architecture 5000 Forbes Avenue Pittsburgh, PA 15213 phone: (412) 268-2082, fax: (412) 268-7838 Graduate Admission: Please contact the college or school in which you are interested. CMU's Advanced Building Systems Integration Consortium was established to advance the North American building industry through research, development and demonstrations designed to increase the quality of commercial and integrated building systems. The consortium believes that high-performance buildings must provide appropriate physical, environmental and organizational settings to accommodate changing technologies and workplace activities. A major effort of the consortium is the 7000 square-foot Intelligent Workplace, also known as the "office of the future," on the roof of Margaret Morrison Carnegie Hall. www.arc.cmu.edu/cbpd/ www.cmu.edu Colorado State University Institute for the Built Environment, College of Applied Human Sciences Guggenheim Hall Fort Collins, CO 80523-1584 phone: (970) 491-5041, fax: (970) 491-2473 dunbar@cahs.colostate.edu The Institute for the Built Environment (IBE), founded in 1994 at Colorado State University, is a multidisciplinary research institute whose mission is to foster stewardship and sustainability of the built environment through a research-based, interdisciplinary educational forum. The IBE, originally established by faculty in the College of Applied Human Sciences, brings together professionals and students from the related fields of design and construction to solve problems through research related to the built environment. www.ibe.colostate.edu Harvard Design School Office of Executive Education 1033 Massachusetts Avenue, Fifth Floor Cambridge, MA 02138 phone: (617) 384-7214, fax: (617) 496-0297 execed@gsd.harvard.edu Executive Education at the Harvard Design School provides a dynamic environment for architects, design professionals, real estate leaders, government officials, policy makers, and scholars from around the world to address emerging issues affecting their fields, learn new management strategies, and develop best practices. The 100-plus seminars and programs offered cover a wide range of topics, including Planning and Development, Real Estate Management, and Sustainability and Green Design. www.gsd.harvard.edu/execed MIT School of Architecture MIT Admissions Office, Room 3-108 77 Massachusetts Avenue Cambridge, MA 02139-4307 phone: (617) 258-5515 Center for Real Estate 77 Massachusetts Ave., W31-310 Cambridge, MA 02139-4307 phone: (617) 253-4373, fax: (617) 258-6991 MIT's undergraduate architecture program is dealing more and more with sustainability issues in architecture. In addition, the MIT Center for Real Estate was founded in 1983 within MIT's School of Architecture and Planning. It sponsors a full agenda of research on issues related to real estate development, investment, and management. The Center also serves as the base for the Master of Science in Real Estate Development, an interdepartmental degree program that educates students to assume positions of responsibility in both public and private sector real estate organizations. Faculty are drawn from the School of Architecture's two departments--Architecture and Urban Studies and Planning--and from the Department of Economics, the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, and the Sloan School of Management. A survey of Center activities over the past year is described in its Report to the President. web.mit.edu/cre/www/ www.mit.edu New College of California—North Bay Campus EcoDwelling—BA and MA Program 99 6th Street Santa Rosa, CA 95401 phone: (888) 437-3460, (707) 568-0112 EcoDwelling is a 3-semester concentration program. New College offers accredited BA completion and MA degrees, with additional concentrations in Ecological Agriculture, Painting in the Landscape, and Consciousness, Healing, and Ecology. The EcoDwelling Concentration is a holistic approach to dwelling in the broadest sense ˆ encompassing the very nature of existence and being ˆ and the entire process by which we inhabit our ecosystems and the planet. It is concerned with the causes of our current dwelling process failure, the principles of success, and the application of principles in the design of equitable, sustainable, universally affordable alternatives. The Concentration provides students with an opportunity to implement vision, theory and design for radically affordable, sustainable means of dwelling, through lecture, discussion, design projects, and hands-on building with cob, strawbales, and other natural materials. www.newcollege.edu/northbay University of Oregon Department of Architecture Office of Admissions 240 Oregon Hall 1217 University of Oregon Eugene, OR 97403-1217 phone: (541) 346-3201 or (800) 232-3825, fax: (541) 346-5815 www.uoregon.edu University of Virginia School of Architecture Office of Admission Campbell Hall PO Box 400122 Charlottesville, VA 22904-4122 phone: (804) 924-3715 www.virginia.edu/ arch University of Washington College of Architecture and Urban Planning Office of Admissions Box 355840 Seattle, WA 98195-5840 phone: (206) 543-9686 or (206) 543-5150 www.caup.washington.edu |
