Curriculum greening in technical teaching: an experience in architecture studies

Abstract

The growing international concern about the degradation of the environment caused by human beings demands the commitment and collaboration of all. In this sense, higher education institutions assume a notable responsibility, as they are in charge of training future professionals so that in the exercise of their functions they perform their duties with ethical criteria and respect for the ecosystem. Within this framework, this article describes an experience implemented in the Structures 3 course of the current Degree in Architectural Studies at the University of A Coruña, with the aim of raising awareness among students of the environmental impact of project decisions and adapting them to sustainable development criteria.
