Graduate Certificate in Ecological Design!
CERTIFICATE of GRADUATE STUDY in ECOLOGICAL DESIGN
Gund Institute for Ecological Economics, Rubenstein School of Environment and Natural Resources, The University of Vermont
Co-Directors:
Dr. John Todd, Gund Institute of Ecological Economics Fellow, Rubenstein School of Environment and Natural Resources

Course Description:
This is a problem based, cross-disciplinary design course. The goals of the course are to research existing conditions, determine needs, integrate the redesign of place and systems in allignment with ecological design principles , and affect policy, in relation to the study problem. The course draws on local talent and networks for the background research and existing conditions study. A high priority is given to applicability of design solutions to affect change. The course is based on small group, self-directed learning and design solutions to problems that have been defined as critical issues. Past studio problems have included designs for UVM student housing, Burlington's Moran plant, an agroecopark for Shelburne Farms, and a re-design of the Burlington waterfront. The problem component may vary year to year, but the research and design-thinking remains a consistent process.

Students in the Art and Architecture Studio will have the opportunity to participate in design proposals which explore the common boundary of art, ecology, design in what are called "Ecoventions," or art that restores damaged habitats, allows water infiltration, and enchances living environments. These art interventions build awareness of the "green" features being designed into the Rubenstein School of Environment and Natural Resources' George D. Aiken Center. Students will learn and develop critical thinking in the following areas: the growing field of environmental art, the fundamentals of ecological design as related to human spatial needs and site specific requirements, an understanding of the relationship between form and function, and design parameters which include aesthetics, biophilic, mechanical, and living systems criteria.
