Sustainability by design: a holistic approach to integrating sustainability into structural engineering education

^*Korrespondierende/r Autor/-in für diese Arbeit

Abstract

This paper presents a holistic teaching approach to include sustainability by design in structural
engineering education; it discusses teaching methods and learning objectives which are later applied to
a design studio for engineering students at HafenCity University to evaluate outcomes of the proposed
teaching method. For a holistic integration of sustainability in structural engineering education, students
need to develop and apply societal and ethical values, which reflect their attitude towards the ecological,
economic and social implications of structural design. This reflection is based on theoretical knowledge
and facilitated by practical means to evaluate sustainability. Within the practical means, an open-source
parametric carbon optimisation tool for Rhino/Grasshopper is presented, which helps students to
understand and evaluate the ecological constrains of their design projects.
