e Built Environment Challenge
nanda Peri , Mr Liam Apter
students to know , respond , and be innovative in responding to a myriad of situations that emerge in the built environment . To face this challenge , we have moved away from hypotheticals and created real-life opportunities for students to feel and experience sustainability rather than being taught through classroom exercises . We have created these opportunities by taking on the challenges faced by industry partners creating sustainable built environments . A significant part of the courses is devoted to real-life practical engagements to encourage spontaneity , insightful and critical thinking , and genuine reflection . Experience during the last few years demonstrated that real-life projects only offered opportunities to educate the professional . However , the quality of engagement between the industry and the course , students and class instructors , amongst students themselves , and the space for students to use their imagination determined the effectiveness of the knowledge creation and sharing to educate an effective professional .
